Al’s Run

Eagle Harbor Inn has been a proud partner of Al’s Run (now called the Briggs & Al’s Run) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for over 20 years. Over 40 years ago Al McGuire, the legendary men’s basketball coach at Marquette University, organized the first “Al’s Run” to support Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. McGuire spearheaded the event for 15 years before he retired from the event, but not before he had turned it into

one of the largest and most successful races in the Midwest. Today, Al’s Run is a critical fundraiser for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, and over $20 million has been raised over the course of its history. Eagle Harbor Inn donates a one-weekend stay to every person who raises more than $3,500 for the cause — our winners have raised over $520,000.00 over the 24 years we have supported Al’s Run.

Door County Performing Arts

Door County’s rich arts heritage lives on in its vibrant performing arts scene. Eagle Harbor Inn supports theaters like Northern Sky Theater (original musicals), Peninsula Players (America’s oldest professional resident summer theatre), Door Shakespeare, and Midsummer’s Music (chamber music) because it’s important to ensure these treasured cultural experiences are available to visitors and residents of Door County for years to come.

Green Initiatives

The natural beauty of Door County remains the primary reason why visitors return year after year, and why some visitors decide to plant roots and build a life on the peninsula. Eagle Harbor Inn is committed to doing its part to preserve the outdoor splendor of Door County, Lake Michigan, and far beyond.
