Wheel Hike Together- Attn. Veterans

Freedom to Roam: Join Us in Supporting Veterans with Limited Mobility
Marinette County is hosting the Wheel Hike Together event on September 30 – October 5, 2025, at Thunder Mountain Overlook Park—a special outdoor experience designed for individuals with limited mobility to enjoy the beauty of nature on an all-terrain tracked wheelchair. The Marinette Elks are proud to support this initiative by focusing on veterans with mobility challenges. Through funding from the Elks National Foundation’s Freedom Grant, our lodge is offering gas cards to assist veterans with transportation to and from the event. Elk’s members are encouraged to bring a veteran and/or join in the hike with their families. Use of the all-terrain wheelchair is free, but registration must be completed in advance. Veterans can register online at
www.exploremarinettecounty.com/pages/wheel-hike-together or by calling 715-732-7503. Volunteers are needed to help make this a memorable and meaningful day for all participants. If you’re able to assist or have questions, please contact Terry Becker at 920-948-5550. Let’s show our veterans the support they deserve and help them enjoy a day of fresh air, fellowship, and freedom.
