Hey there! I’m Audrey, fundraising w/ Save the BWCA bc this land is your land, this land is our land

$700

raised by 13 people

$500 goal

Dear friends and family,

I must start with my sincerest wishes for all of your wellbeing and safety. As we have digitalized the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters as a result of the global pandemic, Twin metals, Antofagasta, and the federal courts system are still hard at work in their attempt to put monetary gain over scientific evidence. The Trump administration has continued their attack on America’s favorite wilderness, but the folks at the campaign are hard at work to protect it! 

I admire all of the staff, volunteers, and supporting businesses that have come together in this fight to protect the Boundary Waters. Two of my family members have lived in Ely, MN for 40 years now, making their living within the outdoor recreation economy. I had the great privilege of spending at least a week every summer in Ely with my cousins, blocks away from Chandler road and Ely’s town center. I have always felt weeks exploring Ely and taking trips in the BWCA is the best summer adventure a kid (and now grown up) could hope for. My cousins and I were convinced we were the very first to set foot on “windsock island” on Shagwa lake. Every year we became more daring with our cliff jumping into miners lake. Blueberry picking all day....I could go on and on. The boundary waters and surrounding communities are magical, and that’s why so many people join me in the fight to protect their livelihoods. 

This week (May 1-8) is GiveMN.org’s week of giving. I have a goal to raise $500 over the next week, and I feel confident in my ability to do so! I know my network cares about wilderness, public lands, fresh drinking water, and preservation of wildlife just as much as I do! Please use this link to donate and help me reach my fundraising goal!
