Make Your Mark: Angels for a Cause

On Feb. 9, 8,963 people will gather at the University of Minnesota Duluth to break the Guinness Book of World Records's standard for the most snow angels made simultaneously. This event, called Make Your Mark, is organized by the Rotary Club of Duluth 25 and Proctor DECA, who share the goal to raise money for clean drinking water.
