As seen on News Center Maine's 207: A transformational $1 million gift from Unum is helping BGCSM expand our Bridge to Success program and create more opportunities for Maine teens

Jill Domingos • June 3, 2026

We are incredibly grateful to Unum for its transformational $1 million investment in Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine and our Bridge to Success program. This extraordinary gift will support a building expansion that will become home to our Bridge to Success initiatives, creating dedicated space to significantly expand opportunities for our teen members as they explore career pathways, develop workforce skills, gain hands-on experiences, and prepare for what lies ahead.
For generations, Unum has been a steadfast partner in our mission, investing in young people and helping ensure they have the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. We are honored to continue building on this remarkable partnership and the impact it has on the youth we serve.
A special thank you to
NEWS CENTER Maine's Samantha York and the 207 team for helping share this exciting announcement and thoughtfully telling the story of both Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine's mission and the longstanding partnership between Unum and BGCSM. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight how community partnerships can truly create life changing opportunities for young people across southern Maine.
