Thank you, sponsors, and supporters, for helping us raise $45,000 at this year’s WinterKids License to Chill 11th Annual Fundraiser to kick off a busy winter season! We can’t thank you enough for your generosity.
TOTAL RAISED
WinterKids enjoyed another successful License to Chill event at Portland House of Music on Thursday, November 10th!
Presented by Mt. Abram, guests gathered at Portland House of Music to enjoy Allagash Brewing beer specials, Portland Pie pizza, Buffalo Wild Wings, and a special “Elvis” donut by Eighty8 Donut Cafe! Our favorite hosts, Blake & Kelly, from Coast 93.1’s The Blake Show, emceed the event and led our live auction. The night was capped off by a live performance with JC and The Elvis Experience.
All told, $45,000 was raised for WinterKids programs. Incredible! We couldn’t do it without YOU— our WinterKids family of sponsors, donors, auction bidders, and guests. Many thanks for kickstarting our winter season.
Here’s an inside peek at the evening’s festivities!
