Your Donation, Doubled!

The campaign to save Sweetwater Lake is off to an incredible start, and now is your chance to double your impact. For a short time, a local advocate is matching donations to the Sweetwater campaign in honor of Randy Wiemer. That means your donation can go twice as far in this critical period of the campaign to save Sweetwater Lake. Our community has raised nearly $1 million of our $3.5 million fundraising goal. We have a long way to go and not much time. With your help, we can raise the funding required to protect Sweetwater Lake, forever. Click here for more information and to donate.
