Falmouth, ME Portside Real Estate Group hosted “Pins for a Cure” at 33 Elmwood in Westbrook, bringing more than 250 bowling fanatics together to support the Maine Cancer Foundation. As part of the annual Portside Gives Back Campaign, the event raised $5,000 to support the nonprofit organization and their efforts to fight cancer with prevention programs and screenings.

“We can’t fight cancer without support from our community, and Pins for a Cure was the most creative community fundraiser of the year,” said Kristen Smith, director of community engagement at Maine Cancer Foundation. “This donation allows us to invest in communities around the state to educate children and adults about cancer prevention, encourage timely and regular cancer screenings, and facilitate access to cancer care.”

Portside Gives Back is an annual campaign focused on bringing the Greater Portland community together to support local causes. As part of the campaign, Portside hosts 4 events each year, benefitting a variety of organizations throughout Maine.

“We are proud to support the Maine Cancer Foundation as they continue to provide programs and education across Maine to help prevent cancer,” said Dava Davin, designated broker and owner of Portside Real Estate Group. “Portside Gives Back is a great way for us to connect with our community and support organizations that are making a difference.”

They lead a state-wide effort to foster and grow the most promising and effective cancer-fighting efforts available to the people of Maine through a combination of grant-based financial support and coalition building.
