You can still be a part of the United Way of Door County's march toward its annual campaign goal of $1 million, even if you are light on cash right now. The organization is about a third of the way towards its goal, which is faster than last year despite the higher dollar amount. Executive Director Amy Kohnle hopes the momentum continues to build through its January 7th deadline because the $1 million goal also represents the current need in the community. She also understands that because of external forces, money for families that want to contribute may be tighter than it usually is for them. Kohnle says pledging now allows both the organization and the donor to plan for the future.

The United Way of Door County is planning several events through the end of the year to help them reach their $1 million goal, including having celebrity cheese mongers at Wisconsin Cheese Masters south of Egg Harbor the next two Saturdays.
