"Without Sweetser, I truly don`t know if I would be here. Sharing my story is my way of making sure other kids and families know that help exists and it works."
Jaymison`s courage to share her personal struggles with mental illness will light the way for others to get connected to the care and treatment they need to heal. She gives us all hope! 💛

🎶 DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY! 🎶
We`re thrilled to have the incredible @plushmusiclive — Maine`s premier ten-piece live band — bringing the sweet sounds to Sweetser`s 34th Annual Auction & Gala happening THIS Thursday at Brick South on Thompson`s Point!
Don’t miss the toe-tapping live music as Plush performs your favorite hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and today. With four powerhouse vocalists, a full horn section, and a high-energy rhythm section, Plush knows how to keep a party moving.
Expect a mix that spans the decades — think classic swing and standards, Motown and soul, 70s dance floor staples like ‘Brick House’ and ‘Dancing Queen,’ 90s throwbacks like ‘Wannabe’ and ‘Mmmbop,’ and today`s biggest hits. 🎷🎤🥁
