Runners and Supporters Come Together Once Again to Help Others

On Saturday, September 21, 2024, the Grosse Pointe Sunrise Rotary Club will offer a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning with the 45th Annual Grosse Pointe Run.

This event is Grosse Pointe Sunrise Rotary’s primary fundraiser. 100% of the money raised allows the Club to help those in need and provide college and trade school scholarships to high school students in our community and surrounding areas.

The Run is for everyone of any age! For the serious runners, the racecourse is USA Track & Field certified and uses a professionally managed chip system which automatically registers each runner’s finish time. Participants just wanting to have fun and enjoy the surroundings can choose the One-Mile Fun Run or the 5K Leisure Walk. Sunrise Rotarians will be there to welcome you with a smile, snacks, and beverages at the Grosse Pointe Farms Pier Park.

The War Memorial

75 Years of Patriotism, Culture, and Community

The year was 1949. Gas was about $0.27 a gallon, a new home could be purchased for less than $8,000, a new car sold for under $1,500, and on the shores of Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Farms, a priceless community asset — the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association — was established.

For three-quarters of a century, The War Memorial has proudly stood as a symbol of unity, celebrating the rich tapestry of our community and enhancing the lives of those who visit our campus. From honoring our veterans to providing educational and enriching activities, our mission has been to strengthen the bonds that tie our community together.

With new programming and innovative leadership, we strive to be a dynamic, forward-thinking hub for patriotism, culture, and connection for southeast Michigan. The War Memorial is a contemporary and inspired gathering place that anchors a healthy community on the shores of beautiful Lake St. Clair where art and music live, memories are made, and the community and its

leaders connect. As we look to the future, we draw inspiration from our storied past and welcome everyone from everywhere to our legacy-ﬁlled campus.

Whether it’s a summer concert on the lawn, a teenage dance, or an elegant wedding, The War Memorial exists so that people can celebrate life and all its joyous moments. We are your gathering place — your town square, your cultural center, your concert venue, your place for special events, and your sanctuary on the lake.

As we commemorate our 75th anniversary and mission in 2024, we enter a time of celebration and forward momentum. This year’s Grosse Pointe Run is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to connect with our mission on a personal level. By participating, you are supporting our ongoing eﬀorts to honor veterans and enrich the lives of everyone in our community.
