You were not seeing things last week if you saw pirates and adult prom goers milling around northern Door County. Pirate Day at Fish Creek Beach and the Adult Prom were two of the fundraisers held by the United Way of Door County to raise funds for its annual campaign. “Pirates” raised approximately $5,600 towards their goal of $50,000 for the Northern Door Business Campaign. 

On Saturday night, approximately 100 revelers headed to Mr. G’s Logan Creek Grille to relive their high school years at the Adult Prom that also added thousands of dollars to their annual campaign. United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle says they have plenty of hard work ahead of them over the next few months before the end of the year.

After a record-breaking 2020, Kohnle announced in August their goal of raising $775,000 to help support non-profits and other organizations in Door County.
