We are excited to be launching the Northern Drift Give Back bracelets over this season of giving. As a brand founded on the love of being out on the water, we are excited for the opportunity to create a gift that gives back to an organization that helps local youth create new skillsets while experiencing one of Minnesota's most special natural resources, which is why we have selected Urban Boatbuilders as our first Give Back organization.

 

For every Give Back bracelet sold, we will be donating a third of the proceeds to Minnesota Non-Profit Urban Boatbuilders. Founded in 1995, Urban Boatbuilders is a trusted member of the St. Paul/Minneapolis nonprofit community, serving more than 8,000 youth and partnering with more than 100 organizations. Their mission is to empower youth to succeed in work and life through woodworking and experiential learning.  Through wooden boatbuilding, they help empower youth by helping them develop problem-solving and social-emotional skills.

Each bracelet, hand-made by Excelsior jewelry designer Anne Waddell, features an adjustable rope clasp and a sterling silver boat propeller, inspired by Northern Drift’s own brand logo. To see more of Anne's work, visit waddelljewelry.com.
