Support the Historic Bonne Terre Mine: Legal Fees Fundraiser

Donation protected
Fundraiser Announcement: Help Save and Reopen Tourism at the World Renowned Historic Bonne Terre Mine!** featuring Boat Tours, Walking Tours, and Scuba Diving Tours.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out to you today to garner support for a cause that is close to the heart of the Bonne Terre Community. The preservation of our rich mining legacy and the reopening of tourism at the Historic Bonne Terre Mine.

For the past 50+ years, this one-of-a-kind site has become one of Missouri’s top tourist attractions.
The Mine has provided countless visitors with a glimpse into its 100-year mining history, providing one-of-a-kind breathtaking underground tours both above and below the water.
The Bonne Terre Mine has hosted world-famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, was Awarded National Geographic's top 10 Adventure, USA TODAY's #1 Scuba Diving destination, and many many more.

However, due to recent legal challenges, the Doe Run lead company has shut down all tours. This is truly a David versus Goliath lawsuit.

The future of this world-renowned destination is at risk.
To secure the necessary legal funding to fight for the mine’s reopening, we are launching a dedicated fundraiser to cover the enormous legal fees.

Your contributions will directly support our efforts to restore tourism to this unique National Historic Site and ensure its legacy for generations to come.

**How You Can Help:**
1. **Donate:** Every dollar counts! No contribution is too small. Together, we can make a significant impact.
2. **Spread the Word:** Share our fundraiser with friends, family, and your social networks to increase awareness and support.
3. **Stay Informed:** Follow our progress and updates on our social media platforms and website.
Remember, the Bonne Terre Mine is more than just a tourist attraction; it is part of our community’s heritage and a testament to our collective history. Let’s come together to protect it!
Thank you for your support!
Warm regards,
Douglas Goergens
