Thanks to a Door County Community Foundation grant, girls in your community will have more opportunities to learn invaluable skills and make lasting relationships. Thanks in part to the the Betty and Andy Lawrence Memorial Fund, the Ruth and Hartley Barker Memorial Fund, the Sharon L. Lutsey Charitable Trust, and the Thomas B. and Betty Jo “BJ” Cassidy Memorial Fund, the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes received a $4,000 sustainability grant from the foundation to address the organization’s Girl Scout Financial Assistance Program. The donation will help girls join the organization regardless of financial barriers by helping cover the cost of program fees, uniforms, and experiences.

Chief Development Officer Kate Corey thanked the Door County Community Foundation for supporting the program, adding, "Together, we are building a community of changemakers, fostering a spirit of empathy, and uniting those committed to making a positive difference for one another and the world.” The Girl Scout of the Northwestern Great Lakes serves approximately 100,000 girls across 58 counties in Wisconsin and upper Michigan, including close to two dozen units in Door and Kewaunee counties.
