The Delta Project

As we reflect on Father’s Day, we’re grateful for the fathers and father figures who are part of the Delta family: Cole, Caton, Joel, Larry, Mariel, David, and Nick.

Over the last year, we’ve had countless conversations about the impact fathers have on their children, families, and communities. One thing has become clear: showing up matters.

Thank you for the ways you lead, support, and invest in the people around you every day.

This past Saturday, we had the privilege of being invited by Jolly Madison Sailing to attend the Big Red Regatta. Our group was warmly welcomed at Macatawa Bay Yacht Club (MBYC) by generous boat owners, who graciously hosted us for a summer-inspired lunch.

After lunch, we were divided into smaller groups and joined our hosts on their boats, heading out onto Lake Michigan to experience the race firsthand. For many of our mentees, this was their first time attending a regatta, making it a truly memorable and enriching experience.

We extend our sincere gratitude to , President of The Delta Project Board, for making this connection possible; to Bill Sleeman for his thoughtful coordination; and to the members of (especially Mr. Scott), was considerate enough to share their time, knowledge, and passion for boating and sailing with us.
