Fund Purpose
To support the Michigan Recreation and Park Association, whose mission is to represent the interests of recreation professionals and citizen advocates throughout Michigan, providing advocacy, knowledge, and programs to enhance the parks and recreation field, as well as the skills of their members. This fund will be used to provide matching grants to support local community efforts to purchase adaptive equipment and to build accessible recreation venues across Michigan. Established in memory of Ray Davis Sr., an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and golfing, was a tireless advocate for youth sports, and who believed in the value of everyone being able to enjoy the outdoors and participate in sports, regardless of ability.
