The time is now to honor the volunteers of some of your favorite Door County non-profit organizations, with the Golden Heart Volunteer Awards set to return in April. The annual event honors people in seven categories: Adult Volunteer of the Year, Environmental Stewardship Award, Performing Arts Volunteer of the Year, Cultural Volunteer of the Year, Volunteer Group of the Year, Youth Volunteer Scholarship Award, and the Karl May Lifetime of Service Award. Last year’s winners included Susan Morgan (Adult Volunteer of the Year), Northern Sky Theater’s Raise the Curtain—Light the Sky Committee (Performing Arts Volunteer of the Year), Door County Historical Society Lighthouse Committee (Cultural Volunteer of the Year), Bill Wolff (Environmental Stewardship Award), Door Tran Volunteer Drivers (Volunteer Group of the Year), and the late Bob Perlewitz (Karl May Lifetime of Service Award). United Way of Door County Executive Director says we are all impacted by the volunteers that make the area’s non-profits function but do not always get the time to say thank you until the Golden Heart Volunteer Awards come around each spring.

You can find more information on nominating volunteers for the seven categories below. The event will occur on April 9th at Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay.
