BRUNSWICK — Downeast Energy held its 23rd annual Downeast Energy Golf Classic on June 6th at the Brunswick Golf Club. The golf classic has raised nearly $300,000 since its inception, with all proceeds benefitting local charities. This year’s benefactor was Tedford Housing, based in Brunswick.

The 2016 golf classic fielded 28 teams that raised $10,000 to support Tedford Housing’s mission to find lasting solutions to the challenges of homelessness.

“Tedford Housing is extremely grateful to Downeast Energy, its employees, event sponsors and participants who all contributed to the success of the event,” Tedford Housing’s executive director Craig Phillips said.

“Downeast Energy continues in its belief that giving back to the community is an important part of the company’s success,” Rob Wilkes, general manager of the Downeast Energy Brunswick office said. “Downeast Energy would like to thank AJ Kavanaugh, director of golf, the staff and McAvoy’s On The Green restaurant for all of their invaluable assistance.”
