AUBURN — Central Maine Medical Center will launch its second annual Arbor House Helicopter Ball Drop at 5 p.m. on Monday, June 18, at 5 p.m. at Martindale Country Club, 527 Beech Hill Road.
This unique fundraiser, hosted by the CMMC Associate Volunteer Program, supports the CMMC Arbor House, a hospitality house located near the hospital.
Raffle tickets corresponding to numbered golf balls are available for purchase. The balls will be dropped from a helicopter. The individual holding the ticket for the ball that lands closest to the target will win a cash prize.
A ticket-holder does not have to be present at the drop to win.
A silent auction of items donated by CMMC Associate volunteers and local businesses will be open to those who purchase ball drop raffle tickets. Those holding ticket stubs are also invited to a reception featuring light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
The CMMC Arbor House was created for patients traveling long distances for care, and for families that must travel such distances to visit loved ones who are hospitalized, and offers free overnight lodging.
The ball drop raffle tickets are available for: $50 for one chance in 100 to win $1,500; $20 for one chance in 400 to win $1,000; or $10 for one chance in 700 to win $500.
For more information or to purchase raffle tickets, contact CMMC’s Development Office at 795-2950 or email giving@cmmc.org
