2022 Overboard Giveaway

The Great Lakes region is a summertime paradise. It’s the perfect place to spend long days fishing, boating, tubing, jet skiing, swimming and so much more. Sadly, there’s no guarantee it will always be this way for future generations.

Overboard’s mission is simple–to enjoy and protect freshwater resources here around the Great Lakes. We have certainly done our part in enjoying our lakes, rivers, and streams all summer long! But now as the warm weather comes to an end, it's time for us to focus on the other component of our mission–doing our part to help protect the water we love.

That’s where the 2022 Overboard Giveaway comes in!

To help encourage all our community members around the Great Lakes region to get involved, we’re hosting an amazing campaign to help raise awareness, inspire action, and collect donations while simultaneously giving people a chance to win an amazing vacation experience.

Here’s how it works:

Our Overboard social media accounts in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will EACH be running a separate giveaway campaign with the prize of a cash credit towards or even a FREE stay at a top-tier vacation rental within each respective state. Yes, that means you can enter to win three different vacations!

100% of donations from this giveaway will be split equally among the three states and donated to local non-profit organizations within each that work to protect our natural resources and watersheds. They include:

• Michigan Non-Profit Beneficiaries 
  • West Michigan Environmental Action Council
  • Huron Pines
  • Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council
  • The Watershed Center at Grand Traverse Bay

• Wisconsin Non-Profit Beneficiary
  • Clean Water Action Council
  • River Alliance of Wisconsin

Although our minimum donation amount of $2 is small, we feel that the combined actions of many thoughtful, caring, and responsible individuals will compound into something sizable.

Whether you win the grand prize or not, you should feel good about participating. Your involvement will have had a compounding effect by encouraging others to participate which will help further spread awareness and raise funds for this necessary cause.

At the end of the day, your participation in the 2022 Overboard Giveaway brings limitless possibilities for the protection of the Great Lake’s freshwater resources. BE PROUD OF THAT!
