The United Way of Door County announced Tuesday that it is setting a $1 million fundraising goal to support the dozens of non-profits and agencies serving the community.  

Over 120 volunteers and community members gathered Tuesday evening at Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor to participate in the United Way of Door County’s annual Campaign Kick-Off.

Executive Director Amy Kohnle says the $1 million goal, which reflects a twenty percent increase,  is huge but necessary to address the increasing need for those struggling and create impactful change in Door County.   

The United Way’s focus on change will address education, financial stability, and healthy lifestyles for thousands of Door County residents who are in need every day.   

The 2024 annual campaign began Tuesday evening with pledge cards distributed to attendees. It will include several partnerships with local businesses to raise funds through the end of the campaign in early January. The United Way of Door County set a record last year by raising over $800,000.
