FROM THE EDITOR

Detroit Rivertown Association's annual Sailing for Scholarships is one of my favorite summertime events. It combines the joy of two hours spent relaxing, socializing, eating and drinking on the water with raising funds for a deserving graduating senior.

Highlights include a view of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, cruising beneath the Belle Isle Bridge and extraordinary views of both the Windsor and Detroit riverfronts.

One of my favorite moments last year was standing on the Diamond Belle rooftop as we floated past the Renaissance Center. For a moment, I was perfectly aligned with Woodward Avenue, which shot like an arrow through the center of downtown. Buildings rose on either side of the street that went on, uninterrupted, into the horizon. It's a moment I hope to replicate this year.

Tickets are just $20 per person and all proceeds go directly to a deserving senior of Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School as they prepare for their first year of college or technical school.

Last year was the best year yet. Sold out, the 2024 Sailing for Scholarships awarded Indya Purry a scholarship toward her studies at Wayne State University. We will be checking in with her soon for a feature in a future issue!

Join us for a laid back cruise on July 9, enjoy food, drinks and summer vibes as we tour the Detroit River. But be sure to reserve your space today at rivertowndetroit.org. Space is limited and will fill up! Read more about the upcoming event on the next page.

Happy Summer and see you on the water!
