Friends of the Mississippi River is thrilled to report that the 6th annual Mississippi River Challenge was a success! The weekend-long event on July 25th and 26th brought more than four hundred participants together to celebrate the river by paddling its waters.
Paddlers had a great time enjoying the natural scenery of the Mississippi River first-hand, and also played a critical role in helping Friends of the Mississippi River continue to do great work in river protection. Thanks to the hard work of countless volunteers, four hundred paddlers, and generous sponsors, FMR was able to raise over $100,000 that will go towards river protection, restoration, and conservation right here in the Twin Cities community.
Friends of the Mississippi River would like to thank all of those who contributed to the success of the Mississippi River Challenge, including our generous sponsors, volunteers, and participants. We look forward to seeing you on the river next year!
