Support the Gunflint Trail Fire Department with shirts and masks

If you want to look really cool this summer you really should purchase a Gunflint Trail t-shirt. Sale proceeds from the shirts are donated to the Gunflint Trail Fire Department. So, in addition to looking like a true Northwood’s model, you will also be giving to a very worthwhile cause. Photo courtesy of Vi Nelson

Without the Gunflint Trail Canoe Races or Mid-Trail Annual Quilt Raffle & Auction this summer, our Gunflint Trail Fire Department (GTFD), a 501(c)3 non-profit, faces a substantial financial shortfall. The Friends of Gunflint Trail Fire Department has several fund-raising activities scheduled throughout the summer.

Kicking off the campaign is an online offer to purchase official “Gunflint Trail Safe Summer 2020” T-Shirts and Masks. This element of the overall fundraising campaign ends June 28.

The GTFD is essential to the safety of residents and visitors alike, often rescuing people from our lakes and woods and fighting wildfires that threaten this very special area on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Events may have been canceled this summer, but the work of the GTFD goes on. Join the Friends of The Gunflint Trail Fire Department, including Gunflint Lake Property Owners Association, Mid-Trail Property Owners Association, and others in supporting our Gunflint Trail Fire Department volunteers.
