MEREDA’s Strikes for Scholars Bowl-a-Thon Fundraiser – SOLD OUT!

After what seems like an eternity, MEREDA is returning to Bayside Bowl in Portland for it’s Annual Strikes for Scholars Bowl-a-Thon Fundraiser!

As per usual, all the proceeds will fund scholarships for students pursuing studies in building trades.  This year, we are pleased to announce that donations will be made to both the ACE Mentor Program of Maine, as well as to the AGC Maine Education Foundation.

As an organization whose mission is to promote an environment for responsible development and ownership of real estate throughout the State, MEREDA wants to help support the next generation of professionals who will ultimately continue its work of advocating for responsible development.

Lanes have now sold out!  Thank you to all who have secured a team!

Many thanks to AAA Energy Service Co. and Machias Savings Bank for their sponsorship of this annual event!   

Also, Malone Commercial Brokers will be taking over the iconic “Call Joe” Time and Temperature sign from May 2nd through May 4th. Watch for the acronym “MCB 4ME” decorating the Portland skyline. This abbreviation, short for “Malone Commercial Brokers for Maine,” is a fundraising effort supporting our Strikes for Scholars! The sign campaign coincides with out sold-out event.

Anyone who see the MCB 4ME message on the sign from May 2-4, 2022 is asked to snap a photo of it and post it on their social media accounts with the hashtag #MCB4ME. For each tag and share, MCB will donate to MEREDA’s Strikes for Scholars Fundraiser!  The top shares and posts with the hashtag #MCB4ME will be featured on MCB social media and website.  Thank you, Malone Commercial Brokers!
