Come join us for this two-day event, starting off with our golf outing at the beautiful Benona Shores Golf Course, and then our dune day at Silver Lake ORV park. Heroes on the Dunes is an event to honor and show appreciation to our injured soldiers and their immediate families with an amazing day at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes In Mears Michigan. Our Honored guests will have the opportunity to ride in the very best that Silver Lake has to offer! We also will be providing lunch on the dunes and a “Heroes Dinner” later that evening. Join us in a Heroes Parade down the Lake Michigan beach (in ORV riding area) and kids activities.
Kickoff with a flag raising ceremony and flyover by Hooligan flight team, followed by an afternoon of rides on some of the fastest and baddest ORVs on the sand. Evening dinner and entertainment at Val Du Lakes makes the perfect end to a fun and rewarding day.
