The 2009 Special Olympics Michigan Summer Sports Classic will tee off on July 17 and swing-on through to July 18. This year’s tournament will feature the golf competition on July 17 at the Pine View Golf Course in Ypsilanti, Mich., and on July 18 will be the softball competition held at the Canton Softball Complex in Canton, Mich. 
Since 1991 the Water Warriors have raised more than $1.5 million dollars for Special Olympics Michigan allowing more SOMI athletes to participate in year-round sports training and competition.
The day started at 8:30 at Mac & Ray’s in Harrison Township. Boaters then motored to Sinbad’s in Detroit, Idle Hour Yacht Club at Harsens Island then to Algonac Harbor Club and back to Mac & Ray’s. The event raised $12,646! A HUGE THANK YOU to the 41 boat loads - 200 people that participated and especially all of the family members and friends who volunteered that day to help make it a success. Thank you also to all of the winners who donated part of their winnings back to Special Olympics.
