PORTLAND, ME - The Maine Red Claws today announced the return of their Summer Clinic Series which is once again sponsored by local Dunkin' Donuts business owners. The series will be kicked off with a free clinic in Monument Square in Portland, on Thursday, June 30, from 12-2 PM. The clinic will be hosted by members of the Maine Red Claws staff and is open to kids of all ages.
This event will mark the first stop on the Red Claws' caravan to 13 select Dunkin' Donuts locations across Maine. Throughout July and August, the Red Claws will travel as far south as Kittery and as far north as Presque Isle holding 90-minute clinics that will teach the fundamentals of basketball.
"We are thrilled to have the support of Dunkin' Donuts local business owners and to be able to offer the Summer Clinic Series to kids of all ages," said Jon Jennings, Red Claws President and General Manger. "We received overwhelming positive feedback from last year's events and were blown away with the number of participants. This is a great way to bring a community together and get kids active."
The Red Claws and Dunkin' Donuts will be handing out giveaways throughout the event with mascots, Crusher and Cuppy, cheering participants on as they complete the drills.
"Working with the Red Claws to offer these clinics has been a great opportunity for the local Dunkin' Donuts business owners," said Dana Reid, Dunkin' Donuts Field Marketing Manager. "We are always looking for ways to give back to the communities that we serve and the Red Claws are great partners."
