CMMC Ball Drop set for June 17 at Martindale‏

Lewiston, Maine - Central Maine Medical Center will present its 4th Annual Arbor House Helicopter Ball Drop on June 16 at 5 p.m. at Martindale Country Club in Auburn.

This unique fundraiser, hosted by the CMMC Associates Volunteer Program, will benefit the CMMC Arbor House.

Numbered golf balls will be dropped onto a target from a helicopter. The individual who has purchased the raffle ticket corresponding with the ball that lands closest to the target will win a cash prize. Participants do not have to be present to win.  

Ticket levels are: $100 for one chance in 50 to win $2,000; $50 for one chance in 100 to win $1,500; $20 for one chance in 400 to win $1,000; and $10 for one chance in 700 to win $500. Up to 1,250 golf balls will be dropped.

An art show and sale, hosted by the CMMC Woman’s Hospital Association, will feature local artists: Claudia Diller, Irene Duplissis, Bruce Habowski, Neiley Harris, Oana Lauric, Melanie Ness, Patricia Ritzo,
and Nancy Trider.

Ticket stubs will admit guests to the art show/sale and reception where light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available.

The hospitalization of a family member is often an emotional, exhausting, and traumatic time. For patients and families from out of town, dealing with issues like housing, meals and transportation can become an expensive and trying burden. The CMMC Arbor House – at no cost to guests – is a place to call “home” while individuals and families struggle with unexpected challenges.

Sponsorships are also available at various levels. Visit www.cmmcgiving.org to learn more about supporting the Arbor House Helicopter Ball Drop.
