MEREDA is excited to host its 14th Annual “Strikes for Scholars” Fundraising Event at Bayside Bowl in Portland on May 7, 2026.

Consistent with the tradition of this event, all proceeds will support students pursuing studies and experience in the building trades. Past recipients of the donations have included Maine’s Community College System, the ACE Mentor Program of Maine as well as the AGC Maine Education Foundation.

MEREDA began this event to support students in the building trades and professions 14 years ago and has continued to grow and support the program. Since the fundraiser’s inception, MEREDA is proud to have raised and donated over $196,000 to deserving Maine students.

Bowling lanes have sold out!
