Thanks to all of the businesses and individuals who sponsored holes and put together teams: Andrews’ Harborside, Business Communications of Maine, Compass Rose Events, Ed and Sylvia Colburn, Gimbels of Maine, Good 'N You, Hall’s Funeral Home, Hervochon Construction, J. Edward Knight, Janson’s Clothing, Knickerbocker Group, Lobster Dock, Network Knowledge, Rowe’s Wharf, The First, Tindal & Callahan, and Veritiv.
