Friends of Sleeping Bear Seeking Donations During Shutdown

Oct. 8, 2025

The nonprofit Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes is soliticing donations during the ongoing federal government shutdown. It posted the following on its Facebook page Tuesday:

"During the ongoing government shutdown, Sleeping Bear Dunes is unable to sell park passes or collect entrance fees. This puts significant park revenue, essential for next year’s operations, at risk.

We know many visitors want to support the park by purchasing a park pass – but simply have no way of doing so right now. In lieu of a park entrance pass, visitors can support the Dunes by donating the value of an entrance fee at: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/entrancefees

Thank you for helping the Park!"
