Alfond Challenge
Harold Alfond was a loyal fan and generous benefactor of the UMaine Black Bears until his death in 2007. Mr. Alfond had a special passion for football, and was a frequent visitor to the sky box in the arena that bears his name. The Harold Alfond ® Foundation continues to carry out Mr. Alfond’s philanthropic legacy, and has made another generous challenge grant to benefit the University of Maine’s football program.The Harold Alfond Foundation will match gifts to UMaine football on a 1:1 basis up to a total of $250,000 if specific terms and conditions are met. We are counting on generous alumni and friends to help us meet this challenge. Your gift can help us support the Black Bears in variety of ways, including expenses related to recruitment, team travel, and equipment. Any gift you make toward University of Maine football will count for the challenge, so please consider making your gift today:
