26th Annual Boothbay Charities Golf Classic For Maine Special Olympics Coming Up September 23-25

For 25 years, The Boothbay Charities Classic has been raising money for Special Olympics Maine. Last year, $40,000.00 was raised for this great cause.

Boothbay Charities Classic is made up strictly of volunteers that work year round to create an annual fun filled weekend event of sports memorabilia, well-known Hall of Fame celebrities, and 18 holes of the wonderful game of golf, with all proceeds donated to Special Olympics of Maine.​

It all starts with the Lobster and Clam Bake with celebrities starting Friday 9/23 at 4:00 pm. Everyone will fill up with lobster, clams, mussels, corn, & Blueberry Cake! Grilled Chicken options are also available for those who prefer. It all takes place under the Big Top Tent at the beautiful Boothbay Railway Village. It is a great opportunity to mingle with friends and celebrities and enjoy a great Maine dinner.

Immediately following the bake is the sports memorabilia auction, which features some great items every year like time shares/plane tickets, and much more!

Saturday is the golf tournament at the beautiful Boothbay Harbor Country Club. Starting at 8:00 AM with a continental breakfast/registration for cart and hole assignment. Shot Gun start at 8:30 am sharp, in a scramble format. Four person teams, with a celebrity added!

I worked in Boothbay Harbor in the summertime for about 12 years and always made a point to get a group together and play in this fun tournament. And it is for a great cause that is near and dear to my heart.

As always, the Charities Classic has lined up a great group of Celebrities due to play in this years golf tourney, including Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Ken Hodge, and Stump Merrill.

If you aren't a golfer but want to get involved, the Boothbay Charities Classic is always looking for volunteers. Contact them if you are interested in helping out.
