The Ogunquit community and vacationers of all ages came together for a fun evening to raise funds for the Rotary Club of Ogunquit which supports many community activities and projects throughout the year.
Contributions go to supporting: The Day of Warming Valentine’s lunch at Wells-Ogunquit Senior Center, music in Rotary Park for Ogunquit pride, Wells-Ogunquit School District literary awards, Southern Maine AIDS Walk team, college scholarships for Wells-Ogunquit School District students, BonAire!, wheelchairs for Ogunquit beaches, EMT bicycle for Ogunquit’s Fire Department, Kite Festival on Maine Beach, OgunquitFest, tree lighting and s’mores in Perkins Cove during Christmas by the Sea, senior holiday luncheon, food pantry donations, beach cleanup days, Ocean View cemetery cleanup, stars for our troops, painting USA map at Wells elementary school and so much more.
Attendees were able to buy grand prize raffle tickets with fabulous donations from Aland Realty, Cricket’s Corner Beach & Toy, Rick Barber, Realtor, RE/MAX Realty One, OGT Inns, Perkins Cove Kitchen, Lafayette Hotels, Panache Fine Jewelry and Art Gallery, and Kennebunk Savings Bank. The Rotary Club would like to thank these businesses for their generous donations!
Approximately 240 additional donations were provided by local businesses and individuals and their support is what makes this event an annual “must attend” for so many people. Rick Barber, President, Ogunquit Rotary said, “we can’t thank you all by name, but your support is appreciated, and we are so grateful to partner with you on this annual fundraiser.”
Finally, the event could not happen without the Ogunquit Rotarians who worked tirelessly for months and their efforts resulted in the most financially successful 2 cent sale to date. Erin Haye and Tracy Smith, 2 Cent Sale co-chairs said, “we also want to thank the Ogunquit town leadership for their support and most importantly, all of those attendees who enthusiastically purchased tickets, went home with great items and made the event a truly memorable community experience.”
Save the date for next year’s 2 Cent Sale: July 17, 2025.
