Attention all News media outlets – I need your assistance in

communicating our ice fishing tournament. Please help me get the word
out as we work to assist our disabled veteran community.

Please join Michigan Operation Freedom Outdoors

(miofo.org) February 10th, for our first annual Ice fishing
tournament!
Michigan Iced Over will take place on Otsego Lake in Gaylord Mi. Registration will
commence at 7 a.m. at the Gaylord Bowling Center – 1200 Gornick Avenue, Gaylord,
Mi. Coffee and a light breakfast will be available prior to heading to the lake. The
tournament starts at 8 a.m. sharp!

Bring the family for a fun-filled day of raffles, prizes, food, comradery and more!

Miofo has been gifting accessible hunting/nature blinds to the Michigan DNR for over
10 years. We work with numerous groups to provide access to Action tracked
wheelchairs that help provide access to Michigan’s outdoors.

This is our first ice fishing tournament. The idea is to extend our veterans outdoor
experiences year-round. After putting on accessible whitetail hunts for 10 years, we
noticed that after deer season, we don't see many veterans until the following
season. Isolation and seclusion have many serious impacts on one's health. This
tournament is being put together with 100% cash payout and prizes to encourage the
outdoor ice anglers to call a Veteran buddy and get him or her out of the house for an
amazing day.

Although it is not mandatory to be a Veteran, we would like you to reach out to

someone you know who is and give them the gift of participating in the first Michigan
Iced Over!

All details are in the link below. Please do not hesitate to contact me for on air
interviews or if you have any questions. Michigan Operation Freedom Outdoors, Inc. is
a 501c3 non profit organization. Registration is live! Let's make this one to remember!

Registration fee: $40 per team of 2 anglers.
