MS TRAM Coming to Chisholm

/in /by

MS TRAM will be coming to Chisholm July 18th through July 20th to raise money to help combat MS! Bikers will be travelling the trails around Chisholm as well as through downtown. We already have hometown teams from the area who will be biking as well and it’s not too late to sign up your team too! 

It has been a few years since they have been in town and we are very happy to have them back. Besides helping with MS research they also bring a huge amount of commerce to the downtown area. So come July when they are in town make sure to be mindful of bikers and to show our visitors why its always better in Chisholm! 

Shuttles will also be taking participants of MS TRAM to and from areas around Chisholm and Hibbing! Throughout the event there will also be more to see and enjoy in town including live music. It is a pleasure to have MS TRAM back in Chisholm and we are hoping that we get more of our residents to participate as well!

If you would like to know more about MS TRAM and what they do visit them on their website!

United Way Sandbag Bus volunteers are needed! Our friends and neighbors in the northernmost part of Minnesota have been battling flooding for almost four weeks straight with no end in sight. Help United Way of Northeast Minnesota in showing them support-and provide relief to exhausted volunteers-by filling buses with Iron Rangers this month!

What: Sign up to fill or place sandbags in the International Falls/Kabetogama area! (Transportation, light breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided)

Who: Groups and individuals 16+ can sign up now on United Way’s Volunteer Portal and become United Way Sandbag Bus Volunteers!

 

When Spring hits, as many northern Minnesotans know, there can often be a lot of flooding. This year has been especially hard on our northernmost neighbors and it is within our power to do something to help. United Way is piling up Iron Ranger Volunteers in the Sandbag Bus to pack and set sandbags to help prevent further damage. We encourage everyone with time to spare to assist in this endeavor because when our neighbors suffer, so do we.
