Auction & Special Presentation

Fundraiser in Marquette on December 12

Save The Wild UP will hold a fundraiser at the UpFront & Co. banquet room on December 12, 2007 at 7pm. This event will feature an auction of both items and adventures that showcase our unique way of life in the UP. There will also be a presentation by local historian Fred Rydholm and a slide show of historical photographs of the way of life in the wild UP by Jack Deo of Superior View.

Tickets for this entertaining event are $20 per person. This includes a free drink, hors d’œuvres, and admission to the presentation and the auction. There will be both a silent and live auction as well as door prizes. All proceeds from this community event will be used to continue Save The Wild UP’s effort to protect our unique way of life, wildlife, landscape and waters of the Upper Peninsula. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Save The Wild UP office at 413 Third St. in Marquette, by calling 228-4444, or at the door.

We are proud to be a part of this community and want to give special thanks to the local businesses and individuals that have already donated items to the auction. We are still seeking adventures and items distinctive to this beautiful region to help raise funds. If you would like to contribute, please contact the office at 228-4444 or info@savethewildup.org. We offer free advertising via our website to all those who donate to this event and will feature pictures of the business in the auction’s printed materials.

The adventures and items available at this event would make wonderful Christmas presents for locals and visitors alike. We suggest bidding on adventures as gifts for friends and family not in this area to expose them to the beauty and wonder that is the “Wild UP”!
