"Copper Shores Community Health Foundation has been a tremendous resource for our school. They have helped us turn our students' dreams into realities. Their support has allowed us to experience success we never thought possible. "
Darren KinnunenHorizons Alternative High School
"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
"The partnership between Copper Shores, the Michigan Sheriff’s Association and the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office provides much needed services to our community. When crime happens, we rely on our colleagues at Copper Shores to help provide victim services, crisis intervention, and education. This partnership is invaluable for a safe and healthy copper country."
Josh SaaranenHoughton County Sheriff's Office
