Black Ice Jig Ice Fishing Event

The Black Ice Jig is an exciting annual ice fishing event hosted by the Rachel Foundation on the second Saturday of February. This family-friendly gathering offers an array of fun activities! It is our biggest fundraiser of the year!

In the
Community

Nothing is as gratifying as giving back while having a little fun. Check out our most recent charity event, the 2024 Black Ice Jig Fishing Tournament at Sugar Lake in Annandale, MN, which raises money to give back to local communities and organizations.

Events that Activate Team Rachel

Fun Run

Each Summer, we dust off our motorcycles and classic cars, rev the engines, and raise funds for our community during the Rachel Foundation Fun Run.

The Sandwich Project

We had a blast preparing over 300 sandwiches for the Sandwich Project of MN, benefiting the Simpson Food Shelf in Minneapolis.

Adopt-A-Highway

Twice a year, the Rachel team pitches in to keep our community safe and clean by adopting a stretch of Highway 241 through St. Michael, MN.

Making Our Mark Through
Charitable Involvement

At The Rachel Foundation, we understand how strong communities create places and opportunities for people to thrive. That’s what makes us so proud to support a variety of registered non-profit organizations where our employees live and work.

It’s our privilege to support the following non-profits.

Employee
Donation
Matching

We stand behind our team members who give back to their community. For any Rachel employee who donates to a non-profit organization, Rachel Contracting will match 100% of their donation (up to $250), invested into The Rachel Foundation.

Furthermore, if any team member volunteers for non-profit organizations in their personal time, Rachel Contracting will match the first 5 hours at a value of $50/hr and up to $250 invested into the Rachel Foundation.
