United Way of Door County will host its fourth annual countywide Jeep-themed fundraiser next month aimed at supporting local programs.
The event, “Jeep the Door Scavenger Hunt,” is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, and will bring together Jeep enthusiasts for a daylong driving tour across Door County. You’ll travel scenic routes while completing team-based missions that include GPS navigation, photo challenges and trivia.
The event will highlight the peninsula’s natural landscapes and local businesses while raising funds for community services.
“This is our fourth Jeep Run, but our first with a scavenger hunt,” said Amy Kohnle, Executive Director of United Way Door County. “This gives everybody the opportunity to join in, they can pick the environmental and landscape attractions along with the bar and restaurant component.”
The event will begin at Door County Fire Company, where doors open at 9:30 a.m., followed by a driver meeting at 10:30 a.m. “There will be tech support for the app on-site for those who may have trouble with it,” added Kohnle.
Activities will continue throughout the day and conclude with a round-up celebration back at Door Co. Fire Company featuring food, raffles, prizes and social beverage time. “We ask that the runners meet back there at 6 PM, there will even be a DJ and pizza for the return,” said Kohnle.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the organization’s efforts to improve health, education and financial stability across Door County, including programs focused on mental health, housing stability and early childhood development.
Registration information is available through United Way of Door County website.
