Show Your Pride

Whether you’re in the area looking for a souvenir, or simply love the Great Lakes, you can show off your pride with a Great Lakes Sticker. Roughly 3”x5”, this bright blue sticker is cut in the shape of the five great bodies of freshwater: Ontario, Erie, Huron Michigan, and Superior. Perfect for your car, window, or wall décor, this neat little sticker can let the world know of your love and affection for the Great Lakes.

Origin

The Great Lakes Proud Sticker was originally designed by Austin Holsinger of Michigan. Along with a small team of friends and experts, Austin came up with the idea to show his pride about the Great Lakes. Holsinger grew up in Wolverine and now lives part time in Traverse City and throughout his life he has made it his goal to be socially and environmentally responsible.

In the Petoskeynews, Austin reported, “I love Michigan, and it’s where I wanted to be. I wanted a product where people can display their pride for the Great Lakes.”

Details

Stickers are currently selling for $5 each (tax and shipping not included) and are only available online, though discounts are available. Great Lakes Proud is a non-profit business, and every sticker purchased goes toward supporting the Great Lakes.

The great best part about these stickers is that you can use your imagination to place the great lakes in any environment you want – letting natural colors fill the empty space around the Great Lake shapes. So far, stickers have been seen on cars, bicycles laptops, water bottles, and even Smartphones and iPads. If the stickers continue to be successful, Austin and his name may even produce additional Great Lakes Proud products such as T-shirts and coffee mugs.

“Our plan is to do as much as we can to give back (support) other Great Lake organizations,” Austin explained.
