Community Calendars
Great Start recognizes the importance of community involvement and the value of opportunities for families to learn and grow together. We have created these community calendars as a way to share timely community events with you. If you know of any events please take time to add them to our community calendar or forward the information to gsevents@dsisd.net. Please encourage the agencies and organizations that you partner with to do so as well so we can have a comprehensive one stop shop for early childhood information in our communities.
Please note that there are guidelines for submissions and each will be reviewed before posting

2025 Leowstrong Bike Ride
In support of the YMCA's Annual Campaign, and striving for a healthier community.
The LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE / Miles for a Mission is a fund-raising event that honors and remembers the late Dr. Tom Leow, an orthopedic surgeon in the community for 17 years, who passed away in November 2015 of cancer. Tom was well-known for his enthusiasm for both his Ironman and long-distance biking. He and his family are regulars of the Leowstrong Bike Ride / Miles for a Mission.
The goal of the LEOWSTRONG BIKE RIDE/ Miles for a Mission, is to help and support those with chronic illness, encourage healthy lifestyles in the surrounding communities. All proceeds from the ride are kept local and support the Greater Marinette-Menominee YMCA’s vital mission work in our community. Dollars through the YMCA’s annual campaign support community hunger needs, memberships that create friendships & opportunity, accessible child care, support for chronic disease, community volunteer work, & more.
This beautiful summer ride will take you smoothly through Menominee County country roads, along the river into the northern woods of Wisconsin and then back into Michigan. The ride is inclusive for every type of rider from the weekend family experience to the long distanced experienced, able-bodied, or non able bodied.
Thank you to all of our community supporters -We're excited for another year!
