You can nominate a local organization or community member for the Sandy Brown Award. Open Door Pride is accepting nominations until April 17th. Nominations are open to anyone in the community who has made an impact on the LGBTQIA+ community. Each year a new local artist takes on the role of creating the award, whether it's ceramic, glass, or concrete, you are sure to love it. The Sandy Brown Award has been presented at the Open Door Pride Festival since 2018. The first award was given to and named after Sandy Brown, who created the Door County chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays in 1997. Brown has worked tirelessly by advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community. Founder and Chair of Open Door Pride, Cathy Grier, shares more about how the Sandy Brown Award started and how it raises awareness.
