"For us what made Copper Shores special was their ability to change people's lives within our small community, and by that I mean especially the lives of our youth. Copper Shores is a huge asset and resource for our community. Life needs difference makers and that's just what Copper Shores is all about."
Kip McIntyrePat's Motorsports in Greenland Township
"Copper Shores has been a critical partner for the Village of L'Anse and our community partners - working together to help bring important community initiatives addressing the nexus of health, recreation and culture. The broad based approaches utilized by Copper Shores, and the willingness to listen to community needs is making a lasting impact. We are a stronger community because of the foundation's commitment to us."
Bob La FaveVillage of L'Anse
