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 Farley 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 1, 2010 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.
