When the Friends of Lapham Peak raise money for projects, or purchase items for the park, those are usually donated to the State of Wisconsin - Department of Natural Recourses for the use here at Lapham Peak. (Other times, the money is used to put on events for the park, or is used to purchase items or supplies for the Friends or DNR to use while working at the park).
