Congratulations to our Coaches vs Cancer Green Bay Gala Fan of the Year, Mike Schmidt!

The Fan of the Year Award recognizes an outstanding corporate, medical, or community partner of the American Cancer Society. The award is a prestigious local honor for individuals or organizations with extraordinary contributions to the fight against cancer through humanitarian efforts, distinguished service, and leadership.

Mike has been a dedicated supporter of the Coaches vs. Cancer Green Bay Gala since its inception in 2022. Through his role at BayCare Clinic, he has also championed other American Cancer Society initiatives, including the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, and numerous other events over the years.

In April 2024, Mike’s commitment to the cause became deeply personal when he was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Despite undergoing treatment, he remained a steadfast leader and an inspiring presence in the community.

Mike’s story of strength and perseverance, however, began long before his cancer diagnosis. On June 25, 2025, we honor not only his battle, but his enduring spirit and unwavering dedication to making a difference.
