Donation of $41,250 to The Task Force for Metal Detection Rights Foundation
Downers Grove, IL - Minelab is a proud supporter of the Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights Foundation. The Task Force is a not-for-profit organization with the singular mission to promote and defend the lawful hobby of recreational metal detecting on public lands and waterways across America. Formed in 1996, efforts of the Task Force have benefited all of us who enjoy the recreational hobby of metal detecting.
Minelab has recently executed a fund-raising promotion with our Minelab Americas Partners to raise funds for the Task Force to help them continue the great work they are doing. Together we have successfully raised over $41,000 in funds and distributed the check to The Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights Foundation on the 8th of February, 2012 in New York City!
This funding will continue to help support their efforts to educate and rally detectorists across North America to positively and effectively help protect all the lands and waterways from which we strive to discover history. We have already seen some great successes come to fruition through all of our partners and the Task Forces’ communication & education efforts:
Nearly 110 Minelab Authorized Dealers across the Americas contributed to the Task Force donation throughout our promotion! This is an AMAZING NUMBER of participants!! Thank you very much!
Many of the land rights issues we are battling will take time and continued effort to affect – but these issues will not be addressed if we do not work together. The Task Force is starting to make a national impact – please continue to support this foundation for our industry! Minelab is committed to continue our support in many ways as we progress into the future.
