Kensington Metropark, Brighton, Michigan - Saturday, June 12^th, 2010

The 4^th Annual "Tips-Up for the Troops" Bass Tournament and Brain Injury Awareness Family and Friends event is a blending of the best from the past BIAMI "LAPS Walk" events and the "Tips-Up for the Troops" Veterans events. This much larger and hopefully more exciting event will feature a Family style reunion for all of our friends and families of Veterans and Brain Injury survivors. This event provides us the opportunity to gather and say "Thank you" to some Michigan Veterans and 1^st Responders who serve us and to learn more about TBI.

Please join us in a day of celebration with food, fun, entertainment, and games. Proceeds will go to benefit the Brain Injury Association of Michigan Veterans and other programs for "Creating a Better Future through Education, Advocacy, Research, Support and Prevention".

This year, the "Tips-Up" Bass Tournament for our Veterans will be just one part of a much larger joint civilian and military family reunion style event. While the Troops and their Pro teammates are "Tackling" the big bass, everyone else will be enjoying the entertainment, Family fun walk, Classic Car Show, Midway displays, Farm Center and Nature Center "Tours", Rides on the River Queen II boat, hay rides, swimming, canoeing, and the many other family oriented activities. So please plan on brining the whole gang.

• Free "All-American" family style B-B-Q starting at 11:00 a.m.
• Free events start at 9:00 a.m. and go all day long: Canoeing; Hay Rides, River Queen boat rides, Classic Car Show, Midway displays, Family "Fun Walks"; Swimming; Bike Rides & Roller Blade - bring your skates, bikes, helmets and safety equipment (required); Nature and Farm Center tours; and more.
• Free Tournament "Weigh-in Show" and entertainment.

The day’s schedule is loosely structured in order to accommodate everyone participating in as many events as possible. Please indicate activities in which you or your family members would like to participate. It’s a wonderful opportunity to relax and socialize with new and old friends and family while enjoying the beauty of one of Michigan’s premiere park complexes.
