TC To Ann Arbor Train Effort Raises $19k

March 25, 2015

An effort to return passenger rail service between Traverse City and Ann Arbor is now nearly $19,000 richer.

The Michigan Land Use Institution (MLUI), the local organization advocating for the rail service, recently took first place in the "$10,000 Charity Challenge Thing," an annual crowdfunding competition among ten causes nationwide. In addition to the fundraising effort yielding $13,650 over two weeks, it received the $5,000 top prize. The competition is hosted by outdoor companies Patagonia and Moosejaw.

The money will be used to help MLUI staff build support of government and business leaders in the communities between TC and Ann Arbor. More information on the A2TC campaign here.
