The participation donation is $200 per door, payable to the Logan County Cancer Society. Sponsorship opportunities also are available for those who want to sponsor artists or groups to decorate a door.
Organizers ask that door decorations are positive and respectful of the cause (but do not have to be cancer-related), are finished on both sides and sealed for the weather. Bases and weights are provided along with the doors.
The finished doors will be displayed in downtown Bellefontaine from March 25 trough April 22, with an auction of the doors to follow in late April.
Since the inception of the project, more than $240,000 has been raised for the Logan County Cancer Society. The funds raised support Logan County Residents that have received a cancer diagnosis by providing assistance for fuel expense, medication and supply expense, wig expense and also provides for an emergency assistance account.
