HERITAGE SOCIETY A LEGACY OF LOVE FOR MT. ASHWABAY
For generations, Mt. Ashwabay has been a place where families gather, friends connect, and the community finds joy in every season. From the first snowfall to the last summer sunset, countless memories are made on these slopes and trails.
A legacy gift ensures that Mt. Ashwabay continues to inspire and connect people for generations to come — keeping the lifts turning, the trails groomed, and the mountain alive as a welcoming space for all who call the Northwoods home.
Your planned gift helps sustain the recreation programs, youth opportunities, and year-round operations that make Mt. Ashwabay such an important part of our community.
ABOUT THE HERITAGE SOCIETY
The Heritage Society recognizes those who have included Mt. Ashwabay or the Ashwabay Alliance in their estate or financial plans. By joining, you help secure the mountain’s future and ensure that our mission — to provide accessible, community-centered outdoor recreation — continues to thrive.
Legacy gifts can be made in many ways, including through a will, trust, beneficiary designation, or charitable gift annuity. You may choose to be publicly recognized as a member of the Heritage Society, or remain anonymous — knowing that your generosity will have a lasting impact on Mt. Ashwabay and the generations who will discover its trails, slopes, and beauty.
Your legacy keeps the trails open, the lifts turning, and the spirit of the mountain alive for years to come.
