Boyne Forever Foundation
Protecting Nature. Strengthening Communities. Supporting Our People.
In 1947, Everett Kircher made a bold investment—just $1 for a parcel of land in northern Michigan that would become Boyne Mountain Resort. What began as a vision to bring skiing to the Midwest grew into a 75+ year legacy of innovation, stewardship, and community. The Boyne Forever Foundation was created to carry that spirit forward. Inspired by that single dollar and the belief that big change can start small, we invite you to be part of something meaningful.
