5th Annual Make 12 Hours Count Radiothon

On March 18th, Veterans Count had anticipated their fifth and largest Radio Thon to date- and then COVID-19 rolled into town. Management made the difficult decision to cancel the Radio Thon and make new plans for a contactless, responsibly hosted event, which was done on May 28th.  Guests and guest hosts during the RadioThon included an impressive line-up, as well as a few surprises.

90% of every net dollar raised for Veterans Count is spent to provide services and grow resources for ME veterans, service members and their families.

This event is proudly presented by Bill Dodge Auto Group and hourly sponsors included Oak Hill Dry Cleaners, Northeast Delta Dental, Beauregard Equipment, Saco River Dentistry, Martin’s Point Healthcare, Shipyard Brewing, Classic Flooring, Otelco, Carpet Specialists, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers IBEW Local 567, and Elsmere BBQ & Wood Grill.
