As the fall colors hit their height here in Northern Michigan, thoughts turn to warmer days from this past summer and to warmer days in the future. Experiential Ink was able to award almost $10,000 in scholarships to our Camp 4 All program. This is because of the generous gifts and grants from tremendous organizations like Finn It Forward and Jamie Marie Baker, the Traverse Regional Community Foundation DEI program, Affirmations, Grosse Pointe Pride by We GP, the R.E. Olds Foundation and . So many individuals and their gifts, both time and treasure, helped us make it to this point after 3 years: more campers than ever before and a greater reach and impact than ever before. To have so many people believe in our mission and help us get LGTBQ+ youth to camp with such a small organization (just two people!) is humbling and motivating. We have come so far and the future looks so bright! Your help might not just send a teen to camp, it might also save their life! So as we wrap up 2023, and look to 2024, we will be asking for more help to impact even more lives. Thank you for your faith in us and our ability to impact so many lives!

The Finn Huston Legacy Project

Finn It Forward Definition: To perform a random act of kindness; The action of paying it forward to honor the memory of a life taken too soon.

Our lives were forever changed on the evening of October 10, 2019. A beautiful fall night ended in tragedy when we learned that Finn had been involved in an accident that would cost him his life. The outpouring of love and support, mixed with both shock and immeasurable grief has left us with the feeling that even though Finn is no longer with us- his kind spirit must live on!

You will see in our stories and pictures that Finn was born Marley and lived the majority of his short life as a silly, charismatic, loving little girl. As he matured, he had the courage to come out and make the changes that he felt necessary to become Finn. We remain in awe of his courage and will forever be grateful to all of those who supported and accepted him as he was. As we move ahead, we will be planning events that we hope would not only make him proud, but that you will all feel proud to support.

We started this non-profit organization as a way to carry out his wishes and intentions by encouraging random acts of kindness, providing scholarships for advancement in education, music and fine arts, and supporting the LGBTQ community in his honor. We are a work in progress, just as Finn himself was as a 15 year old sophomore in high school.
