Sweetser’s 3rd Annual Battle for the Brook Softball Tournament was a home run for our mission, bringing together community partners for a day of friendly competition, teamwork, and giving back at Rotary Park in Biddeford.
This year’s tournament raised an incredible $11,000 to support …Sweetser’s mission of providing hope and healing to children, adults, and families throughout Maine.
Four teams stepped up to the plate this year: Maine Molecular Quality Controls (MMQCI), Pond Cove Millwork, @nikelprecision and Keith’s Meter Service. We’re grateful to every player, supporter, and donor who helped make the tournament such a success.
Congratulations to Pond Cove Millwork, who had an especially impressive showing, taking home both the title of Tournament Champion and Top Fundraising Team! Their commitment on and off the field helped make a meaningful difference for the people Sweetser serves.
Events like Battle for the Brook are only possible because of the generosity of our community. A special thank you goes to @hannafordmkts, Saco House of Pizza, and @firehousesubs for donating food and drinks to keep our players and volunteers fueled throughout the tournament.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the 3rd Annual Battle for the Brook a success. Your support goes far beyond the softball field—it helps Sweetser continue providing critical behavioral health services and creating brighter futures for Mainers.

There is now another option for families of Maine youth who need various mental health supports and need help navigating the system.
www.wmtw.comFamilies in York and Cumberland Counties navigating youth mental health support now have a new option in Maine.
Sweetser has launched High Fidelity Wraparound — an evidence-based, intensive care coordination program for youth with complex behavioral health needs. Instead of families …juggling providers, schools, and agencies alone, this program brings everyone together as ONE team, built around the family's own voice, choice, and goals.
What makes this program unique is that the family is the decision-maker — not the system. A wraparound coordinator, peer supports, and trusted people in the family's life come together to build one individualized plan, look beyond a diagnosis, and plan for long-term success.
