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.
