Over 140 community members gathered Tuesday evening in Sturgeon Bay to celebrate the successes of the United Way of Door County in the last year during its Annual Meeting and Community Celebration.  Executive Director Amy Kohnle and outgoing President Jason Palmer shared the impact the volunteers and community partners made to raise over $777,000 in 2022, the second-most campaign funds ever raised.  More than 20 United Way agency representatives spoke about their organizations and how they benefit from the monies distributed by the United Way.  The evening wrapped up with Palmer presenting NEW Radio/Door County Daily News and Bryan Mazur the Bob Stiefvater “Magnificent” Volunteer of the Year award.

In accepting the award, Mazur stated  "I am humbled that we were chosen for this honor. It was a true team effort to get this award. Everyone here works hard and does a lot to give back to the community. We look forward to continuing to help this year and for years to come.".  Kohnle shared the United Way of Door County’s Big Bold Goal of reducing ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households over the next five years.  By April 2028, the goal is to have worked with 210 households on unique pathways to decrease the number of ALICE residents in Door County.
