Recently, Sweetser welcomed volunteers from UNUM Insurance to help beautify our Saco campus. Some did outdoor work, trimming shrubs, mulching, and edging outside. We appreciate that they worked through the rainy day! Another group was inside giving our Monroe Training Room a much-needed paint job.
Thank you, UNUM, for all of your hard work!

This week’s WMTW Mental Health Moment focuses on fathers and mental health ahead of Father’s Day and Men’s Mental Health Month. Sweetser CFO John McAnuff discusses the unique challenges dads face at every stage of fatherhood—from the stress of welcoming a new baby to balancing family, career, and caregiving responsibilities later in life.
Our annual Sweetser Jack Chevrolet Golf Classic was our biggest fundraising tournament in the event’s 37-year history!
We especially want to acknowledge our longstanding presenting sponsor, Jack Chevrolet, for their tremendous generosity. The late Ira Jack Rosenberg, for whom this tournament is dedicated, was truly a Sweetser champion through and through. Ira’s passion for this cause truly lives on in his family. David Rosenberg and his entire team are true partners in every sense of the word. Together, they have partnered with Sweetser for decades. Their support has never wavered and continues with a family tradition of enriching the lives of the communities served by the Rosenberg family’s car dealerships.
A massive thank you to our incredible Birdie Sponsors:

From the stunning setting to the meaningful conversations, the evening was a powerful reminder of why this work matters. The stories shared of how mental health has touched so many families were heartfelt, honest, and deeply moving. They are what fuel our mission and inspire us to keep going.
A heartfelt appreciation to our gracious hosts at Viewpoint Hotel, whose beautiful venue created the perfect backdrop for connection, generosity, and hope. And to our sponsors: Kennebunk Savings Bank, Tapley Insurance, Shoreline Construction, Portsmouth Quality Flooring, Michael McGrath, and Inspired Nation, your support helps turn compassion into action.
