The company states that a portion of all sales from the collection will go back to the DNR to help preserve our parks, trails, and waterways.
“Our whole lives, we have loved exploring the outdoors. Growing up camping with our folks and exploring the hidden gems of this great state,” the company wrote on Instagram. “From Tahquamenon Falls to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes to Belle Isle, all these places have held a special spot in our hearts.”
The company was founded in 2011 and has been producing Michigan-themed apparel ever since. According to their website, Great Lakes Proud merchandise can be found in over 500 stores across the Midwest.
