Your support is needed to help the United Way of Door County reach its lofty goal of addressing the area’s needs through its annual campaign. The organization hosted its campaign kickoff Tuesday night at the Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor with volunteers and supporters in attendance. One year after raising its campaign goal up 20 percent to $1 million, the United Way of Door County did it again, pitching the community on $1.2 million for its annual campaign goal. The campaign will focus on education, financial stability, and healthy lifestyles for thousands of Door County residents who are in need every day, especially those in the ALICE (Asset-limited, Income-constrained, Employed) population. Last year, the organization raised more than $940,000 to set a record. After conversations with the dozens of organizations they support, United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle says it will take another record year for them to address the community’s biggest needs.

Kohnle says activities will be planned throughout the coming months to help chip away at the $1.2 million annual campaign goal. One of those activities will be the now annual Pay to Play with the United Way takeover of U-102.1 in December. You have until January 9th, 2026 to get your donations and pledges in this year.
