Help Light the Trail for Local Families

Last year, your generosity helped make the Forest Ice Skating Trail possible. More than 5,000 people came out to skate, showing us how much this new winter experience means to our community.

This year, we’re raising funds to light the trail so local kids and families can enjoy more evening skating, including after school. John and Jane Guild have pledged a $50,000 matching gift, and Crow Wing Power, Brainerd VFW, and Essentia Health have already contributed $25,000. Now, we’re working to raise another $25,000 from our community.

Every gift toward that next $25,000 will be matched dollar for dollar, while matching funds remain—so your contribution can go twice as far. Whether you give $25, $100, or $500, you’ll help create brighter winter evenings for local families.

Give to the Max and help us light the trail.
