It is generally recognized that children's success in school is directly related to how much their family and community support their education. The Portland Partnership is committed to building strong family and community support for learning in the Portland Public Schools.
Over 85 area businesses are matched with Portland Public Schools for the purpose of enhancing and improving education for our area students. These Partnerships encourage community involvement in the development of youth and help schools prepare today's learners for tomorrow's challenges. The Portland Sea Dogs are excited about the opportunity to help such a tremendous cause in our community.
A limited number of spots and sponsorships for the tournament are still available, call Kelli Heffley at the Portland Sea Dogs (207-874-9300 or e-mail kellih@portlandseadogs.com) for further information.
