About the Event

Once upon a time in the heart of the Keweenaw, a community foundation began writing a story—one rooted in generosity, sisu, and a deep commitment to something greater. Thirty-one years later, that story continues to unfold, page by page, through grants, scholarships, and initiatives that help our region thrive.

Join us for Keweenaw Gold: The Next Chapter, a storybook-themed evening celebrating the impact of the Keweenaw Community Foundation. Together, we’ll highlight the stories of generosity, resilience, and collaboration that continue to shape our community. Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to our mission, we welcome you to celebrate with us as we turn the page and share the next chapter of impact—together.
