Shop, check-in, and earn $50 for FMR — Thank you longtime partner REI!

FMR's Karen Solas (left) and REI's Mikaela Kramer (right) cant help but smile when they think of how much community stewardship is going to happen thanks to REI's support.

REI is one of FMR's long-standing funding partners, and also helps promote our education and habitat restoration events and raise awareness of the Mississippi River in our region. This year, FMR received our largest grant ever from REI, $20,000, and were excited about the amount of work this is going to enable us to accomplish.

You can help us earn additional funds from REI by using Facebook Deals to let REI know you're a fan of FMR. Visit our Facebook page for details, and then visit the REI stores in Roseville or Maple Grove to earn $50 for FMR!
