We had an incredible time with everyone at our 13th Annual WinterKids License to Chill, presented by Mt. Abram, on Thursday, November 7th!
This year’s event was hosted by Après, in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood, where guests enjoyed treats from Charcutemarie and Eighty8 Donut Cafe, dinner specials from Meet on the Street Food Truck, Après drink specials, live music by TJ Swan, and emcees Blake & Kelly from the Coast 93.1 Morning show.
We’re grateful for our generous silent auction participants, dedicated volunteers, and amazing sponsors and event partners, who made this night unforgettable.
HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS…
Your generosity fuels a movement to keep Maine’s kids healthy, active, and thriving—all throughout winter!
Here’s how your contributions make a lasting impact:
Expanding Access: Every child deserves outdoor winter play’s joy and health benefits, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Your support opens doors by providing scholarships and financial aid, ensuring that kids from all backgrounds can participate in our programs, access gear, and enjoy Maine’s snowy season.
Innovative Programs: Your contributions allow us to expand and enhance our unique offerings, like the Learn Outside Guide, WinterKids App, and year-round activities that motivate children to stay active during the colder months. From innovative and engaging programs in schools to winter sports resources, you’re supporting engaging ways for kids to stay healthy, learn new skills, and build confidence.
Community Outreach: With your help, we can bring the WinterKids spirit to more communities! Our events, such as the WinterKids Winter Games and Welcome to Winter, introduce schools, families, and communities to fun, accessible winter activities. These programs build lifelong healthy habits, foster a love for the outdoors, and help children embrace an active lifestyle.
Thank you for investing in a brighter, healthier future for children across Maine!
