Over the years, the Door County YMCA has been very successful in many endeavors. You could put fundraising at the top of the list. The Y announced Monday that it had raised $525,167 to support its annual campaign. The yearly fundraising effort, formerly known as the “Strong Kids Campaign,” provides financial assistance for those in need and enables the organization to offer programs and services that support youth development, healthy living, and, social responsibility. Tom Beerntsen, YMCA President and Chief Executive Officer, said reaching the annual campaign goal of $525,000 was an extraordinary accomplishment. Beerntsen noted that nearly 25% of the Y’s membership receives some degree of financial assistance.
