Join this group of women donors who have made a contribution of $1,000 to our specialized giving society. Launched in 2001, donations to WINGS are earmarked specifically for projects that will positively impact 'tween and teen girls in Maine. The first project undertaken with WINGS funds was Maine's Future: A Report on the Status of Young Women in Maine. This report tracks girls' progress in three key areas affecting their development: education, health and social status. For more information about WINGS, please contact us 1-888-922-GSME (4763).
Women of Distinction Dinner
The Annual Women of Distinction Dinner, Girl Scouts of Maine's largest fundraiser, annually draws upwards of 350 attendees, and recognizes local women who serve as exemplary role models for girls and young women. This is a great opportunity for businesses and community members to support local women role models while also raising funds to help Girl Scouts of Maine programs. Funds are raised by ticket sales as well as silent and live auctions held at the event. Donations are also accepted. Invitations are sent out in October; if you are interested in attending please contact the Advancement Department at 207-772-1177. Tickets are $125 per person.
You can help GSME raise funds for our programming by donating an item or services for our auction. Are you a quilter? Consider making a quilt to be donated! Do you love to fish? Offer to host a fishing excursion under your expert guidance! Maybe you own a landscaping company – offer a coupon for $100 worth of services! The sky’s the limit, and we welcome any support. Contact the Advancement Office if you’d like to learn more about how you can help Maine’s girls while promoting your business.
