What a day! I couldn't be any more proud of our Sarah's House Team yesterday at the Washington County Community College's 19th Annual Polar Dip! This crew ROCKED IT! The water was cold, the air even colder, but you wouldn't know it with the smiles on our faces all day! Congratulations to Elaine Millett and Cathy Sjogren on their very first Polar Dip. (Elaine raised over $800.00 herself!) Thank you to veterans Gerryann Bernard and Tristan Alley for returning again. Sarah's House is truly blessed to have the love and support of each of you! Thank you to the WCCC Student Senate for putting this event on for the past 19 years!!

It has been a very busy week for Sarah's House!  A couple of big thank yous go out to WIRELESS ZONE, VERIZON AUTHORIZED DEALER for their Round-up for Charity event during February. Customers from their six locations rounded up their purchases, totaling over $476.00 for Sarah's House! And to Bangor AARP! Tim Cameron stopped in with a wonderful collection of household items! Thanks again, AARP Last night I had the pleasure of sharing Sarah's House with the newly formed and already very active Husson University Community Rotaract Club! These young people are amazing!  Stay tuned for more updates as our Sarah's House crew heads to Pleasant Point Pier in Perry for the Washington County Community College Polar Dip tomorrow at noon!
I am cold just thinking about it!  We are so fortunate to have so many folks out there supporting our mission! Thank you, everyone!!!

Thank you to the Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary Club for the invitation to come and share an update on Sarah's House! Rotarians from across the State of Maine (and RI) have lent so much time and financial support to Sarah's House. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today without you all!!!

This is always a fun event! Please consider joining in and supporting Sarah’s House! Thank you Airline Brewing for your continued support!!!

Morgan's timing was perfect for volunteering yesterday! We received this huge donation from the Brooksville Community Cafe! What a generous group of supporters they are! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!

Thank you Wilcox Wellness & Fitness! You have such a supportive community there! Sarah's House is truly grateful for the support! Those member check-ins have raised over $1,250.00 to date! Keep up the great work!

The students at Parkside Children's Learning Center are sharing the LOVE with Sarah's House, again!! This time they delivered homemade (and beautifully decorated) sugar cookies in adorable Valentine's Day treat bags for our guests! I have a feeling people are going to really enjoy them:) Thank you to the staff and children that worked so hard to brighten our day!

Sharing some information from one of our community partners who is working to support cancer patients in Maine. Good job, Matt Dexter and Christine B. Foundation! "The Christine B. Foundation's 2019 scholarship applications are open and close on March 31. CBF has two college scholarships available for undergraduate students that have illustrated resilience by overcoming the burdens of cancer. Each scholarship has different criteria, such as school location and community service involvement, which applicants must meet." http://www.chrisbfund.org/scholarships

We invited Becky Frank's husband, Phil, to stop by Sarah's House this afternoon to draw the winner of the quilt she made for us. She wanted us to use it to raise money for Sarah's House and that is just what we did! We raised $1,375.00!!!! Thank you so much for your generosity Becky!!! Thank you to everyone that purchased tickets!! AND THE WINNER IS ............Barbara Ek

Congratulations Tristan Alley! We are so proud of you! You have been such a great volunteer at Sarah’s House. I am sure you will do great things for Rotaract!

Yes....It IS that time of year again! March 8th! Mark your calendar! Come 'dip" with us! Looking forward to seeing our friends from Washington County Community College who host this event to benefit both Sarah's House and Ronald McDonald House in Bangor! Always a good time! I'm not gonna lie though, the water is a tad bit cold!!!!

Such an amazing team!! We are so thankful! Go lady tigers!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Sarah's House is truly grateful for the continued support of Darling's! We were recently presented with a check for $900.00! The check was part of a promotion in which customers purchasing a vehicle could select a cancer charity that would receive a $100.00 donation from Darling's Auto Group!  When Sarah's House opened, Darling's donated a beautiful van that allows us to transport guests staying with us, back and forth to their treatments. Darling's Chevrolet in Ellsworth and the Acadia Region Corvette Club hold an annual car show which benefits Sarah's House and we even get awesome, random checks from their "Ice Cream for a Cause" truck!  Thank you to Darling's for all you do!!!

This beautiful quilt was donated by Becky Frank for us to use as a fundraiser for Sarah's House! It measures 51 inches across and 61 inches in length and is absolutely beautiful. We are selling tickets for $5.00 each and will be drawing it on February 8th, just in time for Valentine's Day. If you are interested, private message us for details or call 989-1683 (between 8:30-4:30). Thanks again, Becky, for all you do for Sarah's House!

Wayfair, you've got just what we need! Talented cooks! Thank you to this fabulous team for stopping by Sarah's House on Wednesday night to cook and serve, chili, cornbread and brownies ala mode! It was the quietest I've seen the great room all week, everyone was busy enjoying the food! Such a treat!
