Great Bear Chase Press Release: Matching Fund Giving Tuesday to Support the Swedetown Trails

The local Portage Health Foundation supports Giving Tuesday, which is December 1 this year. Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving intended to encourage philanthropy and support for non-profit organizations. The foundation will match donations to the Swedetown Trails Club and 17 other area non-profits.

If you have an interest in supporting the Swedetown trails, home of the Great Bear Chase, you can double your donation by contributing on or before December 1. Swedetown plans to use some of the donations to support the purchase of a wider snowmobile drag, used to touch up skate lanes, as well as to support extended grooming at the end of the year.

Last year, these donations supported extended spring grooming, snow bike trails, energy-efficient trail lighting, trail improvements for the upcoming season and surveying for future land acquisition. You can support Swedetown, and double your gift, by using the Foundation’s online giving page at https://www.phfgive.org/giving-tuesday.

Thank you for considering this opportunity.
