We've so enjoyed getting to know with the South Portland Professional Fire Fighters Local 1476 over the last several months to plan their 8th annual Checking For Charity fundraising event, of which the Center was a beneficiary. As we serve more people than ever in our nearly 40-year history, partnerships like this are what helps to ensure we can continue to provide our services at no cost for as long as they’re needed. Thank you so much to the firefighters for making hockey season so fun and special for our families, and for giving them the opportunity to skate and enjoy the game - some for the very first time. Special thanks to our friend Bob Marley Comedy! (fb)
