Maine Red Claws Foundation - Everyone wants to make a difference, to be the hero, but not everyone gets the chance to be. The Maine Red Claws believe that everyone, no matter how big or small, rich or poor, young or old, can make a difference. Our organization has a simple hope when it comes to our role in the community: to use the power and magic of basketball and the Maine Red Claws - its people, team, properties and events - to help better the community in which we live. The Maine Red Claws aim to be active and involved with the state of Maine and the many charities and organizations that work hard every day to make this such a great place to live. The Red Claws will focus our charitable efforts on four areas: Health & Fitness, Education, Maine's Children and Community Outreach.
