At our 33rd annual Sweetser Auction & Gala, we will be raising critical funds to fuel the construction of Maine’s first psychiatric residential treatment facility on our Saco campus. With your help, we can bring at-risk youth home from out-of-state care and long emergency room stays, to bring families closer together for the mental health treatment they deserve. We hope you’ll join us! 💛
