Gitchee Gumee Tattoo partnered with Second Harvest Northland to help those who are struggling with food insecurity in the Northland. Second Harvest Northland is the Northland's number one food bank and mobile food bank options in the Northland servine 15 counties. Their services help provide nourishing food to over 70,000 individuals each year. With community support Gitchee Gumee Tattoo donated over $500 to help support their mission and the community.
The partnership between Animal Allies and Gitchee Gumee Tattoo continues to be a highlight of our year. We were honored to go and table at the Walk for Animals Fundraiser for Animal Allies to promote our flash sale. Animal Allies continues to provide a variety of services to the Northland that help enrich our community. They offer Spay & Neuter events, Fundraisers, Community Education events, and Youth Mini camps to help the Northland embrace what the love of animals can truly be. With the communities support Gitchee Gumee Tattoo was able to donate over $1,000 and some treats to Animal Allies!
Gitchee Gumee's Flash event for the Lake Superior Zoo was a roaring good time this year. With a variety of wild and farm animal themed tattoos we were able to embody the community's wild side. Lake Superior Zoo is the 19th oldest Zoo in the United States who continues to provide close-up animal experiences that inspire connections with wildlife and action toward conservation in our region. Due to the community stampede Gitchee Gumee was able to donate $1,000 toward future conservation efforts and animal enrichment.
As the school year rolled around Gitchee Gumee Tattoo partnered with the Head of the Lakes United Way to Stuff the Bus. The Stuff the Bus event helps local youth by providing new school supplies to those in need. All supplies collected are delivered to Ashland Schools, Duluth Schools, Lake Superior School Distric, and the Superior School District to be distributed to students by teachers and youth-serving agencies. With the communities support Gitchee Gumee raised $1,000 which was used to buy New Backpacks, Pencil bags, and School Supplies for all ages.
Gitchee Gumee Tattoo wants to thank the community for partnering with us to make a big impact on so many amazing agencies. We strive to continue to make our community a better place one tattoo at a time.
We will be offering a new style of community support here in the near future. So please keep an eye out for updates on our Facebook, Instagram, and an ear out for our radio ad for more information to come.
