🍻 What a great evening!

Thank you to everyone who joined Traverse City Young Professionals for our August Happy Hour at T-Bar @ Mt. Holiday! Despite the road closures and traffic making the commute to and from the event a little more challenging, we had a fantastic turnout and loved seeing so many familiar faces while welcoming new ones into the TCYP community.

It was a great evening of connecting, catching up, meeting new people, and enjoying some time together outside of work. We appreciate everyone who made the extra effort to navigate the traffic and join us—we'd say it was worth the drive! 😉

A special thank you to T-Bar @ Mt. Holiday for hosting us. We hope to see everyone again at our next TCYP event!

🌱 Giving Back in Our Community! 💚

Thank you to everyone who joined Traverse City Young Professionals for our August volunteer event with Father Fred at the Historic Barns!

Our group spent the evening getting our hands dirty and helping tend the garden plots that provide fresh produce for the Father Fred food pantry. It was a great opportunity to give back, connect with fellow young professionals, and support an important resource in our community.

We’re grateful to everyone who came out and helped make an impact! 🌿

🏓 August FunDay Recap! ☀️

We had a great time hitting the pickleball courts for our TCYP August FunDay! From friendly competition to plenty of laughs, it was a fun morning spent getting active and connecting with fellow young professionals.

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us! Whether you were a pickleball pro or picking up a paddle for the first time, we hope you had as much fun as we did.

We’ll see you at the next TCYP event! 👋

⏰ Just about 4 Days to Go! 🌱

There's still time to join Traverse City Young Professionals for our August volunteer event!

On Monday, August 10, we'll be partnering with Father Fred to help tend their garden plots at the Historic Barns. The fresh produce grown in these gardens helps stock the food pantry and supports neighbors throughout our community.

No gardening experience is necessary—just bring a willingness to lend a hand and spend an evening giving back alongside fellow young professionals.

⚾️ What a great night at the ballpark! ⚾️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined Traverse City Young Professionals for an evening with the Traverse City Pit Spitters!

The weather couldn't have been much better, making it the perfect night to enjoy baseball, connect with fellow young professionals, and take in all the fun of Lions, Tigers, Wings & Beers Night. With a great turnout from our TCYP community, it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones along the way.

Thank you to the Traverse City Pit Spitters for partnering with us and offering discounted tickets for our members. We appreciate everyone who came out and helped make it another successful TCYP event!

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
