Buck Hunt 

We trekked down to the Yale Senior Center for the Deer Widows and Widowers Buck Hunt, ready to unleash our inner ninja in the 'buck hunt' game. Our plan? Hide the buck charm on the back of our famous fridge magnets - because, clearly, that’s the last place anyone would look... if they were blindfolded. It was found so fast, it made our attempt at subterfuge look like we were trying to hide a disco ball in a dark room.

Tin Can Auction

We unleashed our creativity on an awesome basket for Carsonville Port Sanilac Community School's tin can auction, blending sharp ideas with a cascade of glitter ribbon. This wasn't just a basket; it was a statement piece, designed to dazzle and dominate the auction scene with its cool, shimmering vibe

Thanksgiving Dinner

For our third year we donated Thanksgiving baskets to the local pantry. This year we were able to provide Thanksgiving dinner to 20 families. Not captured in the photo is the sheer volume of meat we provided - enough to give anyone a solid workout just from the loading and unloading!

 

So Many S'mores!

To usher in the magic of December, we gathered all the fixings to whip up 400 scrumptious s'mores for the Brown City Tree Lighting Ceremony. You bet we were the proud hosts of the s'mores station, where everyone could indulge in the gooey, marshmallowy goodness. And the cherry on top? The breathtaking tree, generously donated by a local community member.

Lighted Christmas Parade!

We had a blast mixing fun with our Highline family at the Sandusky Country Lighted Christmas Parade. This year, we had the cutest little helpers joining in the merriment. A big shout-out to our fabulous drop technicians for not only keeping the fiber optic lights on (see what we did there?) but also spreading heaps of Christmas cheer!

Carsonville Heros

One of our favorite fire departments, the Carsonville Fire Department, joined the heartwarming Shop-with-a-Hero event and invited us to share in the joy. This incredible initiative, organized by the Sheriff Department, teams up heroes with children to shop for their families' Christmas presents. Pictured are our very own heroes from Carsonville, spreading holiday cheer. Highline also teamed up with Sanilac County Health and Human Services to adopt and shop for a family, making Christmas a little brighter for everyone involved.

Build Update

We are still installing even in the winter! If residents are in an active area and have a green pedestal in their yard, they may be eligible to install Highline’s gigabit internet service even in these cold winter months. Residents should call 888-212-0054 to find out if their home is eligible.

Pets in Need

Delta Animal Shelter posted on social asking for donations and we could not pass on an opportunity to donate much-needed supplies and snuggle some sweet puppies! Dog mom, Therese, and all twelve of her pups are now part of the MDOC—Dawgz Adapt Program at the Alger Correctional Facility where they will receive love and training until they are ready to find their forever homes. This is a wonderful program that pairs shelter dogs in need of training with inmate handlers to give them both a second chance.

 

"Black Friday on a Tuesday"

Downtown Escanaba turned Tuesday into the coolest Black Friday ever, and the Highline Community Relations Team was all in on the action! We rolled out the red carpet with FREE gift wrapping, turning every purchase into a holiday masterpiece. Shoppers were sipping on hot cocoa, munching on treats, and kids were mailing off their heart-felt wish lists to Santa. Here's the kicker: they got to cruise around in style with a limousine courtesy of Downtown Escanaba, making their shopping spree a VIP experience from one drop-off spot to the next. Talk about a Tuesday that rocked!

Christmas in the Village

Over in Newberry, the festive fun was cranked up to eleven when Sarah Olson, our Community Relations Elf, threw a Christmas wrapping bash at Highline's spot during the annual "Christmas in the Village" extravaganza. Imagine this: you're elbow-deep in wrapping paper, the air smells like pine and victory, all while sipping on steaming hot chocolate and dunking into a mountain of cookies. It was like Santa's workshop, but with less stress and more cheer, making everyone's holiday prep a jolly good time!

 

Charlie Brown’s Christmas

The Highline Team decked the halls with boughs of jolly during the Escanaba Christmas Parade, embracing the "Charlie Brown's Christmas" theme like they were part of the Peanuts gang themselves. Community Relations star Paula Jordan turned everyday materials into hand-painted masterpieces, bringing the beloved characters to life. But wait, there's more! The Escanaba Robomos robotics team took the party to new heights - literally - perched atop a Highline bucket truck, shooting t-shirts from their cannon like they were Santa's elves on a sugar rush. It was a parade that screamed, "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!"

Murder Mystery Dinner

Highline sponsored a Murder Mystery Dinner at the Elks Lodge in Manistique, masterminded by the Eva Burrell Animal Shelter, where everyone channeled their inner flapper. Guests stumbled through the mystery with the grace of a drunken Gatsby, all while decked out in the most fabulous, feather-boa-laden costumes. The Cake Lady Café didn't just serve dinner; they served up a feast so good, you'd think they were trying to bribe the detective in you! And let's not forget the local businesses, who threw in donation baskets like they were trying to win the title of "Most Generous Bootlegger." The night was a hit - full of laughter, sleuthing, and so much style, it was practically criminal how much fun everyone had!

A Tree Festival, Poker Run and a Christmas Movie

The Festival of Trees hosted by Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital was another great event! Highline donated an ice fishing package to the festival’s online auction. The ambiance of the entire event was incredible and was a huge success for the hospital.

Highline was also proud to sponsor Habitat for Humanity’s annual poker run and a Christmas movie for Newberry’s Christmas in the Village.

GIVING BACK

November and December were a whirlwind of giving back, kicking off with a bang on Thanksgiving! Highline showed their heart by donating both funds and eco-friendly reusable bags to the Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Escanaba High School.

This event opened its doors wide to anyone in need of a meal, those without the means to cook, or anyone looking for company during the holiday, ensuring no one had to spend Thanksgiving alone or hungry.

Out in the E.U.P. a food drive was held at our Newberry Warehouse. We received enough donations to provide Thanksgiving meals for three local families.

Sweaters for Seniors 

Highline sparked some heartwarming cheer with a fresh event at our Newberry spot dubbed "Sweaters for Seniors." The community rallied, dropping off a cozy collection of new and gently loved sweaters at our Highline Newberry warehouse. These warm gifts then found their way to the residents at Golden Leaves Living Center in Newberry.

Finally, the month ended with a donation of Christmas gifts to three local families—two in the Newberry area and one in the Rapid River area. Highline partnered with Luce County Community Action Agency and The Rapid River Business Association to ensure these families had a wonderful Christmas this year.
