Central Maine Medical Center will present its fifth annual Arbor House Helicopter Ball Drop on Tuesday, June 23 at 5 p.m. at Martindale Country Club in Auburn. Hosted by the CMMC Associates Volunteer Program, this unique fundraiser – in which raffle tickets are sold to represent the numbered golf balls to be dropped onto a target from a helicopter at the event – benefits CMMC’s Arbor House.

The available raffle ticket levels are $100 for one chance in up to 50 to win $2,000; $50 for one chance in up to 100 to win $1,500; $20 for one chance in up to 300 to win $1,000; and $10 for one chance in up to 400 to win $500. The owner of the golf ball that lands closest to the target wins the cash prize. You need not be present to win.

The event will feature a social hour with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and entertainment provided by local musicians Debbie Morin and Denny Breau. CMMC’s Arbor House is a place that individuals and families from out of town can call “home” at no charge while they cope with unexpected health challenges facing their loved ones.
