More than 25 years after its founding, your generosity continues to help DoorCancer meet the area's needs, even after distributing more than $2.5 million in the community.

The organization supports Door County families going through cancer in several ways, whether gas cards and hotel stays to defray travel costs or cover rent or utility bills when money gets tight. Early in the organization, a couple of thousand dollars was all that was needed to support the community. That number has grown to tens of thousands of dollars, including over $30,000 just last month. DoorCancer's Danny Hanson and Jenny Brandenburg say the number shows that the need in the community continues to grow as more people become affected by cancer and become aware of how their organization can help them. It also displays how much support Door County residents and visitors have for their mission.

Brandenburg and Hanson are both proud that much of the money raised by DoorCancer is distributed and stays in the community. One way you can support DoorCancer's mission is by attending the return of their Clips for a Cause event on August 27th at Sonny's Italian Kitchen. You can hear more about that event below.
