We want to especially acknowledge our presenting sponsor of our 36th Annual Golf Classic, @jack.chevrolet, for their tremendous show of generosity! This event would not be a success without them.
Ira, and now David Rosenberg and his family, have partnered with Sweetser for over two decades. Their support has never wavered and continues a family tradition of enriching the lives of the communities served by the Rosenberg family’s car dealerships. The late Ira Jack Rosenberg, for whom this tournament is dedicated, was truly a Sweetser champion.

Now is the time to strengthen Maine`s behavioral health system for our next generation and for families in need. After passing these two bills in the legislature, we need the funding approved:
✅LD 1426 – To expand Child ACT (assertive community treatment) to Lewiston and Bangor, providing 24/7 team-based support for families.
✅LD 858 – To stabilize and fund school-based therapy on school campuses for families.
Please email Appropriations Committee members to stress getting these bills across the finish line to address the youth mental health crisis we are currently experiencing:

Rep. Lori Gramlich’s LD 1426 will expand mental health treatment options for children and families in underserved areas of Lewiston and Bangor with new Child ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) teams. Currently, Sweetser operates the only one in the entire state in Saco. More communities deserve this type of 24/7 team & community-based support. The legislature passed this bill in committee, in the House, and in the Senate, now we just need the funding approved. This is the time to strengthen Maine`s behavioral health system for our next generation. Email Appropriations Committee members to get this across the finish line:
