The wilderness is calling. Will you answer?

Join us September 26, 2026 for the Northwoods Gala, an unforgettable evening where advocates, paddlers, and wilderness lovers come together to fight for the place we cherish most.

This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of the Boundary Waters and the people who refuse to let it go without a fight.

Every dollar raised powers the work that matters: mobilizing communities to defend clean water, challenging threats from copper-sulfide mining, and sending kids from underserved communities on life-changing canoe trips in one of the last great wildernesses in America.

The magic of the Boundary Waters belongs to everyone — and together, we’re making sure it stays that way.

Reserve your seat. Be part of the fight.

September 26, 2026, 5pm
Nicollet Island Pavilion
