An Evening of Hope: One Powerful Night Can Change Where Healing Happens
Join us for Sweetser's 34th Annual Auction & Gala — our signature fundraising celebration supporting Maine children and families, presented by our friends at Maine Community Bank.
This year, …we're rallying support to construct Maine's 1st youth Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF), helping bring Maine youth home from out-of-state placement and into care close to the people and communities who matter most.
📅 WHEN: Thursday, September 17th | Doors open at 5PM
📍 WHERE: Brick South on Thompson's Point
💃 WHO: YOU!
What to expect:
🗣️Heartfelt testimonials from individuals who experienced Sweetser's hope & healing
🎶 Live music by the band Plush
🍽️ Chef-crafted hors d'oeuvres from Blue Elephant Events & Catering
🍰 Indulgent desserts + our crowd-favorite wine wall
📸 A fun photo booth by Aull That Entertainment
🎁 300+ silent & live auction items — including unforgettable trips to Bali, Portugal, and Africa, plus exclusive packages and raffles you won't find anywhere else!
Co-hosted by WMTW-TV Channel 8 anchors Meghan Torjussen WMTW & Jon Chrisos, with a special guest appearance by Blake & Kelly from Coast 93.1.
Every bid, every ticket, every dollar helps create local solutions for youth facing serious mental health challenges — so children can get the care they need right here in Maine, near their families and communities.
Thank you to our generous corporate partners for helping make this night possible: Unum, Central Maine Power, CGI, Clark Insurance, Holistic Health International, Saco & Biddeford Savings, Paquin & Carroll Insurance, Coast 93.1, and WMTW Channel 8.
We can't wait to celebrate with you for this meaningful cause.

🌿 A Day of Goodness at Sweetser's Saco Campus!
We were honored to welcome dozens of volunteers from @toms_of_maine to our Saco campus for their annual Goodness Day! As a company rooted in nature and sustainability, it was fitting to see their team channel that same outdoor spirit …into hands-on projects that made a real difference for the youth we serve.
From painting fences to installing new benches and building bat boxes, their hard work has transformed our outdoor spaces into places where our students can enjoy, connect with nature, and simply feel more at home.
A very special thank you for the donation of beautiful benches 🪑 — a gift that reflects Tom's of Maine's commitment to the outdoors and will give our students a place to sit, breathe, and be present in nature for years to come.
Their generosity, hard work, and heart made a lasting impact on our campus. We're so grateful for this incredible partnership! 💚
