What a fantastic day at Saturday's Duck Race! 🦆💙

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased ducks, attended the event, volunteered their time, and cheered from the sidelines. Thanks to your incredible support, the Duck Race, proudly sponsored by Century 21 Affiliated, raised $1,045 for the Three Rivers Promise!

This event was a tremendous success and a lot of fun for the entire community. We are grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

A special shoutout goes to our amazing kayakers, who worked hard to round up all the adventurous ducks that decided to make a break for freedom! 🚣‍♀️🦆 Their efforts found and returned every duck.

Your support helps us continue building the Promise. Thank you for making a difference and for being part of such a memorable day!

We want to thank the Three Rivers MI Rotary Club for the opportunity to provide an update on our fundraising progress and upcoming community events.

Tom Lowry and Mike Eldridge updated us on the Three Rivers Promise, the campaign for which has reached $1 million and is now starting a new phase of fundraising en route to the board’s goal of $3 million.

The Three Rivers Promise (TRP) is building a community funded scholarship endowment to make postsecondary education more affordable for graduates of Three Rivers High School (TRHS). This support covers college, vocational training, and skilled trades to reduce financial barriers and bolster our local workforce.

Promise programs work: studies show that they increase college and training enrollment, increase degree and certificate attainment, significantly reduce student debt, improve outcomes for marginalized groups, increase community and regional retention, result in higher high school academic achievement, increase FAFSA completion, boost housing value and demand for new housing, and improve career and workforce development.

In 2016 there were 53 Promise programs nationwide; now there are 450 and Michigan leads the way with 80 programs. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Detroit Regional Chamber have pledged “full, unequivocal” support for programs that provide tuition assistance, aiming to build a stronger talent pipeline.

The TRP is building an endowment fund to assist TRHS graduates with education and training costs. Each year, a portion of the fund’s earnings (not the principal) will be used to assist with tuition and fees for eligible TRHS graduates. The endowment is being managed locally by Southern Michigan Bank & Trust’s investment department.

Upcoming fundraisers include a pickleball tournament on Saturday, June 27 from 8 a.m.—5 p.m., and a fish fry on Friday, August 14 from 4-7 p.m.
