Support Annual Appeal
Each year the Boys and Girls Club and YMCA raise scholarship funds for children of need. Please consider a gift today. Your generous contribution will be recognized according to your wishes. For more information on ways to make a positive difference in a child's life, please call Felicia Lambert at 207-873-0684 x248. At our Annual Appeal Awards Dinner a $100,000 challenge was issued from the Harold Alfond Foundation. For every dollar raised (in cash) until September 7, 2012 will be matched up to $100,000 by the Harold Alfond Foundation. Please consider a donation during this challenge period so we can meet our goal and receive the full matching $100,000 to support the area youth.
