Community

This year’s Fundraiser was the most successful to date, despite there being no ice on the Bay and no fishing to be done. Through the generous donations from local and UP businesses for raffle items as well as the amazing support of the community more than $17,00.00 dollars were raised to be used for new and existing equipment upgrades to enhance Rescue 21’s lifesaving mission. All rescue 21 members are unpaid volunteers from various walks of life here in Alger county.

Choices range from Frankenmuth Brewery, which was established in 1862 and promotes itself as the oldest microbrewery in the state, to Detroit’s Traffic Jam and Snug, the states’ first brewpub, to more recent additions, such as LaTulip Brewing Company in Cooks, established in 2020.
