Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine’s 2022 Golf Fore Kids’ Sake at Samoset Resort, presented by Rockland Ford, has already sold out, with 25 teams competing on May 27 to support one-to-one youth mentoring in mid-coast, central and eastern Maine.
The annual spring golf tournament is expected to raise over $50,000 for community and school-based mentoring programs across seven counties served by BBBS of Mid-Maine.
“We are excited to welcome a full course of supporters back on the green this spring to help raise critical funding for local youth,” said BBBSMM Executive Director Gwendolyn Hudson.

Whether it be donating, sponsoring, or volunteering, we all play a critical role in defending every child’s greatest potential.”

BBBSMM’s long-standing, successful mentoring programs pair children, ages 5-14 (Littles) with caring, responsible role models (Bigs) in one-to-one friendships in Androscoggin, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Penobscot, Somerset, and Waldo counties. By partnering with parents, volunteers and local organizations, children in the program have higher aspirations, greater confidence, develop better relationships, avoid risky behaviors and achieve educational success.
