The United Way of Door County raised the second-highest total in the organization’s history as part of its 2025 annual campaign. Executive Director Amy Kohnle and Board President Michelle Lawrie announced Tuesday that the campaign brought in $937,969.33, second only to last year’s total of $942,686.14.
Funds raised will support nearly two dozen programs and partners, including the United Way of Door County’s Child Care Initiative, Healthy Door County, STRIDE – School-Based Mental Health Services, the Door County Alcohol and Other Drug Coalition, and the Door County Partnership for Children and Families.
Lawrie and Kohnle said they appreciate the community’s support of the $1.2 million goal and hope the campaign helped residents better understand how the United Way serves the entire community.
Kohnle and Lawrie also thanked local businesses for providing creative ways to help promote the United Way of Door County’s mission, ranging from guest bartending and cheese-mongering events in Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor to staging a sit-in atop Al Johnson’s Restaurant in Sister Bay.
