M3 Eagle works with community for charitable events and public recreation

The Eagle Foothills have always been a popular place to go for outdoor recreation. With its commitment to community and nature, M3 continues to provide a public trailhead for general recreations and to work with local community and charitable organizations desiring to use the land for special events. The public access trail is off Willow Creek Road in the Little Gulch area, north of Eagle.

So far this year, M3 Eagle has hosted the Children’s Archery Challenge 3D Shoot in April, as well as the Eagle Extreme Endurance and Diabetes rides in May.

Tom Haver, president of the Children’s Archery Challenge 3D Shoot, said it’s been beneficial to hold the shoot on M3 property because a spacious area is required for the event. Over one weekend, three different archery courses for 1,200 kids are set up. The event raised nearly $10,000 for St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital and $1,500 for Hunt of a Lifetime, a non-profit group that awards guided fishing and hunting trips to children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

“We love M3 – we couldn’t do this event without them,” Haver says.

The Diabetes Ride, co-sponsored by Humphreys Diabetes Center and Camp Hodia, had 230 participants and raised $28,000. Half of the proceeds went to the Humphreys Center and half went to Camp Hodia, says Lisa Gonser, Director of Marketing and Community Relations. “M3’s support was central to our success.”

A new hiking and trail-running guide for the greater Boise area features a description and map of a 5-mile loop in the Little Gulch area, which lies on M3 property, Avimor and Idaho Department of Lands property.
