As part of its’ annual Heritage Club
Endowment Dinner, the Door County YMCA is honoring Cynthia Stiehl on October
1st at the Horseshoe Bay Country Club as one of Door County’s most enduring and
beloved philanthropists. Many know Cynthia as a talented artist and
accomplished musician, embracing her vocation with unbelievable passion and
commitment. While music performance may be her vocation of choice, her
avocation and overwhelming focus has been on supporting her community.
Some philanthropists support programs
and institutions which match their passions or interests, however, Cynthia, who
is a great benefactor of the fine arts, has staked out a much wider focus
providing leadership and financial support throughout a wide swath of
organizations and causes in Northeast Wisconsin. From her support of higher education
(Lawrence University), to human and health service organizations (Door County
YMCA), to fine arts organizations (American Folklore Theater and Peninsula
Players) Cynthia has been there to lead and support because of her belief in
filling these critical community needs. At the YMCA, Cynthia’s support was
instrumental in the original construction of the Northern Door Program Center
in Fish Creek and she continues to serve on the Association’s Board of
Directors and Endowment Board.
Cynthia has made a profound impact upon
the “the next generation of benefactors” through her invaluable input which has enabled
organizations to operate with greater efficiency and purpose. Her greatest
gifts have been her time, talent, passion and devotion to her community and
neighbors. The Door County YMCA is pleased to honor Cynthia Stiehl at this
event as her entire life has been devoted to caring for and serving the needs
of others.
