Congratulations to Ben Ciavola, Do Good Volunteer of August 2022!
Ben has been dedicated to the Copper Harbor Trails Club for many years. In his prior role as President, he led the organization to huge growth, both in terms of trail mileage and event participation. More people than ever are using our trails because of his vision. Now retired from the top role, Ben has dedicated his time to launching one of the first bike patrol programs in the nation. This program will emulate how ski patrols work in winter, ensuring bike patrollers will be in and around our trails during busy times to respond to emergencies. From coordinating training events to sourcing police-grade radios (no easy feat), Ben has done an excellent job at keeping things organized and professional at each and every step. Copper Harbor Trails Club is a leader in this initiative in Michigan and it would not have been possible without his passionate efforts to keep our trail users safe.
