Give a Little. Protect a Lot.

The Little Sand Lake Area Association is proud to take part in Give to the Max Day 2026 for the first time. We are joining nonprofit organizations across Minnesota in a day of support for the places and causes that matter most, and for us that place is Little Sand Lake.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 for the LSLAA Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Fund.

Why now

Zebra mussels were discovered in Little Sand Lake in 2025, and funding for public boat launch inspections is expected to be reduced in 2027. Protecting the lake matters more now than ever.

We are committed to a robust and rigorous approach: monitoring the lake, preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species, and preparing for the AIS challenges still to come.

Where your gift goes

Every dollar raised in this campaign goes to the AIS Fund and supports:

  • Monitoring: keeping a close watch on the lake.
  • Management: responding to the invasive species already here.
  • Prevention: stopping new ones from getting in.
  • Education: helping everyone who uses the lake protect it.

Every gift makes a difference

Whether you give $25, $50, $100 or another amount, every donation brings us closer to our $5,000 goal. Please also share this with family, friends and neighbors who care about Little Sand Lake.

Our lake gives us countless opportunities for recreation, relaxation and cherished memories. Protecting its health and beauty is a shared responsibility, and together we can make a meaningful difference. This Give to the Max Day, let’s give a little back to Little Sand Lake.

Thank you for your generosity and your continued commitment to preserving our beautiful lake.
