We’re doing a classic car show called Hot Rods and Heroes this Saturday from 10am to 3pm at Bill Dodge in Westbrook. Every year, Bill Dodge partners with our stations to raise money for Maine Veterans– funding specifically Maine-based organizations supporting our military and their families here where we all live.

  • The Bill Dodge Phone Bank will be up and running all day Saturday to take donations, and we’ll have the number on our website and Facebook pages.
  • You’ll be able to donate by cash, check, or debit card at the event on Saturday.
  • You can go online to billdodgeautogroup.com and there’s a link to the online donation page there. That link is live if you want to donate now or can’t make it on Saturday.
