Dave Anderson, the co-founder of ABR, passed away May 25,2022, after a long fight with sickness. He was a huge supporter of the Foundation, so a Dave Anderson Memorial Fund is established for those that wish to honor his legacy. Dave wished that everyone be able to enjoy outdoor activities in Erwin Township for many years into the future.
You can also donate materials for building a trail bench, trailside kiosk, or new trail in honor of a loved one.
