David Abele's profile

The Birchwood Project

A Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Realtor, David Abele supports many nonprofit organizations locally and nationwide. One local organization David Abele supports is The Birchwood Project, which he also founded. The Birchwood Project will provide families of children with critical illnesses wilderness cabin accommodations, while they enjoy the beauty of nature around them.

Located in Brainerd lakes, Minnesota, on the eastern shore of Lake Sylvan, The Birchwood Project consists of two components. The first is a resort, open to small groups who want to stay in luxurious accommodations, surrounded by nature. Hosting a sauna and numerous outdoor activities, guests can experience the restorative power of nature and practice self-care, without sacrificing comfort.

The second component of The Birchwood Project is its philanthropic element. When a group stays at the Lodge, they fund accommodations for families with a critically-ill child to stay in the summer cabins on the property. The family can take a break from the financial and psychological stress of medical treatment, and exchange it for the natural beauty of the resort’s surroundings. As of the fourth quarter of 2021 the Lodge is scheduled to open in Fall of 2023, and the cabins will open in summer of 2025.
