Sanford, ME – Partners Bank has proudly been supporting the Sanford Mainers for years. For the 2025 season, the Bank is returning as the Presenting Sponsor, donating $10,000. Additionally, the Bank is donating $3,500 to the team’s baseball-based literacy program called Boomer’s Bookworms and becoming the Exclusive Sponsor.
The Sanford Mainers, part of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, are famous in Southern Maine for providing high-quality, family-friendly entertainment for those in the Greater Sanford community. The players hone their skills with the goal of having a future in the big leagues and participate in community service.
“Partners Bank’s sponsorship also provides an outlet for growth with not only our players who come across the country from top college baseball programs, but also for our interns who are seeking to advance their desired career paths through the likes of broadcasting, marketing, sports management, video production and beyond,” adds Jacob Ouellette, Sanford Mainers Chairman of the Board.
The first game of the season is on June 6th, where the Sanford Mainers will play against the Upper Valley Nighthawks in a home game at Goodall Park.
Boomer’s Bookworms aims to spread the love of reading to the youth in the Sanford-Springvale community. The literacy program is rooted in baseball, strengthens reading skills, and helps children gain the confidence they need to engage with their surroundings.
The program concluded on April 1st and was successful in their mission. Local children logged 15,375 minutes – approximately 256 hours or 10.5 days – of reading. Boomer’s Bookworms visited nine schools in four districts and reached 3,700 children in grades K-8.
The team’s Youth Development Director Andrea Knight says, “We are incredibly proud of the youth in our community and look forward to honoring them at one of our two Boomer’s Bookworms events at Goodall Park. The first is on June 23rd at 6:30 p.m. The other is on July 13th at 4:30 p.m.”
Last year, Partners Bank was also the Presenting Sponsor of the Sanford Mainers. The Bank is happy to support the Sanford Mainers’ mission and wishes the team great success this season.
