AUBURN — Central Maine Medical Center will launch its inaugural Golf Ball Drop Monday, June 20, in Auburn.

This unique fundraiser, which benefits the CMMC Arbor House, involves the sale of raffle tickets representing numbered golf balls. On June 20 at 5 p.m., the numbered golf balls will be dropped from a significant height onto a target at Martindale Country Club. Three cash prizes will be awarded to the ticketholders whose golf balls land closest to the target.

The ticketholder for the ball landing closest to the target will win $1,000. Second and third prizes are $500 and $250, respectively. The golf balls can be purchased for $20 each or 3 for $50. Ticketholders do not need to be present to win.

The event at Martindale will also feature Mainely Improv On the Spot Comedy with its program, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Tickets for the event are $25 per person, and include fancy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Two guests may attend and receive two raffle tickets and three golf balls for $100. Raffle tickets for items donated by local businesses will be available for $5 each. Ticketholders must be present to win prizes donated by businesses.

The CMMC Arbor House provides — at no cost to guests — a place for patients and/or their loved ones to stay while getting extended care at CMMC.

Sponsorships for the Golf Ball Drop are still available. For more information, contact the CMMC Development Office at 795-2950, email giving@cmmc.org or visit www.cmmcgiving.org.
