Gala Sponsorship

Join the Boundary Waters event of the year

The Boundary Waters Gala is our signature annual event, bringing together 450+ supporters, community leaders, and conservation champions to celebrate the Boundary Waters and the people who protect it.

As a sponsor, your organization will connect with business leaders and individuals while demonstrating your commitment to environmental stewardship and protecting Minnesota's natural heritage.

To discuss other partnership opportunities, reach out to Kelsey Polcher at kelsey@savetheboundarywaters.org.

In-kind auction sponsorship

Donations of outdoor gear, art, one-of-a-kind experiences, and other special items help create a thoughtfully curated auction. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share what you offer with Wilderness supporters and show your commitment to protecting the Boundary Waters for generations to come. Email mira@savetheboundarywaters.org if you would like to contribute in this meaningful way.

Due to overwhelming interest, this year’s Boundary Waters Gala is SOLD OUT.
