A number of young people from the Hovland community and Trinity Lutheran Church are holding a double-fundraiser. To show how serious they are about these worthy causes, the intrepid young people (and some adults) will be jumping off the Hovland dock on Chicago Bay Road into frigid Lake Superior on Wednesday, May 25 at 5:00 p.m.

Consider coming out to join them and donating to help them collect shoes for the non-profit organization, Soles 4 Souls. This organization has collected millions of shoes for people around the world and in the United States. Community members are encouraged to donate gently used shoes at the following locations: Johnson’s Foods, Grand Marais Public Library and Trinity Lutheran Church.

In order to fund the shipping of the donated shoes, the students and other community members will be taking the plunge for pledges.

All are invited to watch the craziness, pledge support and donate shoes.
