The 2010 Women’s Winter Tour kicks off on February 6th & 7th at host resort Crystal Mountain, located in Michigan’s beautiful Benzie County.
This is the 12th year for the event that sets out to benefit a local nonprofit, Active Now, Inc. and the Grand Traverse Women’s Resource Center. Active Women Now has helped to raise over $95,000 for the local Traverse City Women’s shelter and other local charities.
Welcome Winter Wonder Women!
This year’s art theme is Wonder Woman!
We’re celebrating the incredible strength of women everywhere. Each woman is unique in the personal challenges they have or are currently facing in their lives. Through these situations women become stronger and develop new powers of dealing with what life throws their way. Here’s to strong women and to women helping other women discover their strengths!
