Earlier this month, the 35th annual Sweetser / Jack Chevrolet Golf Classic raised $112,000 for youth mental health programs, according to organizers.
The event, held on June 10th at the Dunegrass Golf Club in Old Orchard Beach, sold out at 36 teams.
Funds raised for Sweetser, based in Saco with locations across the state, exceeded their $100,000 goal and will go towards serving Maine families in need of mental health care.
“Every year this event grows from the generosity of the community,” said Jodie Hansen, Senior Development Specialist at Sweetser. “We couldn’t do it without the unwavering support from the Rosenburg family.”
The Golf Classic was presented by Jack Chevrolet, a tradition of supporting Sweetser which was started by the Rosenburg family of car dealerships decades prior.
“Our golfers, our businesses, and our supporters are fueling our critically important mission of delivering access to mental health treatment for Maine families regardless of their ability to pay,” said Justin Chenette, Sweetser’s Senior Director of Public Relations & Advancement. “Events like this ensure no one is turned away.”
Sweetser provided over $1 million in services last year to individuals and families who had an inability to cover the cost of care.
The 1st place gross winning team was Northeast Delta Dental, while the 1st place net winning team was Casco Bay Ford. There was also a hole in one individual winner, Curt Jordan from HM Payson.
The next Golf Classic has already been set for June 9th, 2025, at Dunegrass.
