The Maine Strong Memorial Foundation is a certified 501(c)(3) organization that was established in light of the mass shooting that took place in Lewiston, ME on October 25th, 2023. Two of the victims, Joe Walker and Ron Morin, were staples within the Lewiston/Auburn softball community. What started as a small softball tournament to raise money to support the two families, evolved into a (25) team tournament, sponsored by Hammond Lumber Company, to support the families of the (18) victims and survivors. Due to the rapid turnaround time required (two weeks), our Foundation partnered with the The Lewiston-Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, ensuring all funds raised were appropriately managed and successfully distributed directly to all families. Our community came together to raise $207,853 through this event! This Foundation stands as a testament to the strength, resilience, and compassion of our community, honoring those we lost while fostering hope and support for the future.
