GivingTuesday
Our historic lighthouses symbolize our rich maritime history and attract visitors from around the country. Owned and operated by the Township, these historic beacons have weathered many winters, but they also require significant resources to keep them standing proud.
In 2018, Presque Isle Township Museum Society (PITMS) and Presque Isle Township established the Presque Isle Township Lighthouses Restoration Fund to support the care and preservation of our Old and New Lighthouses and related buildings. The fund, administered by the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM), supports the Township’s efforts to restore the Old and New Lighthouses and related buildings.
GivingTuesday
Tuesday, November 28, 2023
We are very excited to be one of 62 nonprofits participating in GivingTuesday Northeast Michigan this year through the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM)! This year GivingTuesday is November 28. Any donations made through CFNEM on our organization’s behalf on that day will be used specifically to help maintain and restore the Old and New Lighthouses and 1905 Keeper’s House.
GivingTuesday is a global day of giving back that falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, and after the popular shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Locally, the Community Foundation hosts Giving Tuesday Northeast Michigan to make giving back easy, and 100% of your donation goes to the organization you choose. So when you make a gift to Presque Isle Township Museum Society on November 28 at cfnem.org/givingtuesday, we are sure to get every last penny to use where we need it most.
