For 2026, all net proceeds from entry fees and sales commissions will go to 5 nonprofits: Friendship House, St. Elizabeth’s Jubilee Center, Sea Change Yoga, Growing to Give, and Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition. Descriptions below:

• Friendship House  in South Portland is a home for men who are in recovery from substance use disorder, have little or no income and need a safe place to live.
• St. Elizabeth’s Jubilee Center in Portland is a low-barrier pantry serving non-food essentials to all those in need, including new Mainers and Mainers whose families have been here for generations.
• Sea Change Yoga in Portland seeks to increase access to healing-centered yoga for people living in systemic oppression. They work within the community and institutions to remove financial, physical and cultural barriers for people, creating spaces where every person is honored and celebrated.
• Growing to Give in Brunswick is a climate friendly, volunteer-driven, non-profit farming operation that grows certified organic vegetables. Growing to Give collaborates with a number of other organizations to ensure that the vegetables it grows are harvested on time and transported promptly to food pantries and other access sites where they can reach local people struggling with food insecurity.
