The SAME Lake Michigan Post invites you to attend our 19th Annual Boat Cruise Fundraiser. This two-hour cruise is an enjoyable way to spend a summer evening with fellow SAME members and guests, and has become a highlight of our summer programs!

Started in 2007, the Cruise has raised over $70,000 for various veteran and military family support organizations. Our goal for this year’s event is to raise $10,000 through corporate sponsorships and attendance. We are continuing our long-standing support to Fisher House Foundation—Illinois. We are again supporting Midwest Shelter for Homeless Vets, a non-profit organization that provides housing, supportive services, and community outreach to help homeless and at-risk veterans and their families achieve self-sufficiency.
