The Maryland Fur Trappers organization has nearly 400 members. They are scattered
across the state and reside in all of our counties. Formed in 1961,
the organization is dedicated to the protection, enhancement and management of
Maryland's wildlife. The members seek to promote an understanding of the biological,
cultural and economic value of the fur industry in Maryland. In the summer of 2007 the Maryland Fur Trapper's Board of Directors voted to expand their current community service program by initiating a charitable fund raising program in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Other long standing community service programs include sponsorship of the Miss Maryland Program, as well as scholarships and training programs for members and non-members. The Maryland Fur Trappers made their first contribution of $1,500 during an August 6, 2007, luncheon in Mount Airy, Maryland. Shown below is a check being presented to Adam Van Bavel, of Komen-Maryland's Towson Office. |
In the center presenting a check for $1,500 to Komen-MD are Ron Leggett, President
MFTI and his wife Betty. On the left is Adam Van Bavel, right is Lenore Koors,
both of Komen-Maryland. Member contributions made this donation possible. |

Maryland Fur Trappers Inc. celebrate their 20th year of donating a red fox jacket to the winner. MFTI members have supported this project because it is very educational.

We would like to thank Robert Colona for his dedication to do the orientation for the 21 contestants for Ms.MD year after year. |
