RESULTS !!!
2026 will be our 5th lobster bake! As of 2025, we have raised $259,000! We have given out $69,000 in scholarships and $11,000 in grants.
We cannot thank everyone enough for participating in every way, coming, donating, volunteering !
After 2026, we will pause major fundraising efforts. We believe the funds raised are sufficient to sustain our scholarship program for many years. We will continue to hold smaller fundraising events as needed.
