2025 Race Beneficiaries

Each year, the volunteer organizers of the Maine Community Bank Maine Marathon select a group of charitable organizations in our community to receive proceeds from the race. Below are the 2025 race beneficiaries. All of these amazing organizations benefit directly from your race registration fee — and they are all among the list of charities you can make additional donations to when signing up for any of this year’s events.

In Her Presence

In Her Presence supports immigrant families by cultivating connections, nurturing relationships, and providing learning opportunities essential for successful integration.

Grahamtastic Connection

Grahamtastic provides free technology to children with cancer and other serious illnesses to support their education, as well as their social and emotional well-being.

Children’s Odyssey

 In collaboration with parents, staff, therapists, and community, Children’s Odyssey strives to provide high quality, structured programming for children of varied developmental levels.

“Since 1997, this effort has enabled us to contribute over $7 million to deserving causes. Moreover, the marathon weekend significantly benefits the local economy, generating an economic impact exceeding $1.3 million. We value the substantial support of our esteemed partner, Maine Community Bank, who help make our efforts possible.”
