Supporters of the Boys and Girls Club of Door County sampled bourbon flights and barbecue in the name of charity at Sister Bay’s Northern Haus on Thursday evening.

Blues, Brews, Bourbon & BBQ is one of the organization’s signature summer events, allowing community members to enjoy a summer evening while enjoying food and drinks, participating in raffles and silent auctions, and hearing inspiring stories from the Boys and Girls Club of Door County. The event raised thousands of dollars for the organization, including more than $11,000 during the live auction alone.

The organization is currently hosting more than 180 members through Camp LeVoy, a 10-week summer program that gives participants the opportunity to explore local museums, take field trips to area businesses and participate in other activities.

Boys and Girls Club of the Bay and Lakes Region CEO Johanna Wicklund said Thursday’s event is one of the organization’s two major summer fundraisers supporting its mission of serving area youth.

Earlier this year, the organization was represented by Elian N. and Izzy H. at the regional Youth of the Year competition, where they showcased the leadership, resilience and personal growth they have developed through their experiences at the Boys and Girls Club of Door County while connecting the dots between music and leadership.
