NEWRY — Sunday River Resort will participate in The River Fund’s Month of Giving fundraiser by matching up to $5,000 in donor contributions. The River Fund is a Newry-based non-profit organization, founded in 2018, with a goal of creating educational and recreational opportunities for youth in the region.

The Month of Giving fundraiser is an inaugural effort by The River Fund to garner community support. Donors can become a Friend of The River Fund by making at least a $50 donation, and will receive a River Fund t-shirt, sticker, and access to exclusive events like the annual Peak Gala at Sunday River. Donations can be made through RiverFundMaine.com.

“Sunday River is proud to support The River Fund and the plans they have to improve experiences and opportunities for the next generation,” says Resort President and General Manager, Dana Bullen. “Many people in our community work and play at our resort, and we believe it’s important to give back.”
