What a day at the Duck Race!

We were proud to support our July Precision Cares recipient, the Traverse City Optimist Club, during one of the most fun and impactful events of the National Cherry Festival.

For over 70 years, the Optimist Club has been dedicated to supporting youth in our community — and events like this are a perfect example of that mission in action. From the energy of the crowd to the sea of ducks racing down the river, it was all about coming together to make a difference.

Even better — 100% of duck sales go directly back to local youth organizations, creating real impact right here in our community.

We’re grateful to be part of something that brings people together in such a meaningful (and fun!) way.
