We are proud to continue his legacy of giving to projects that benefit Maine’s universities and its people.” “We are going to build outstanding athletic facilities to support our Black Bear athletes and students and youth from all over the state,” said UMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy. “Wins for our athletic program and all the work we do to advance the initiatives supported by the Harold Alfond Foundation will include inclusion and community building. We are Maine’s public universities and everyone will be welcome to engage in our programs, use our facilities, and contribute to our success.” Details, renderings, and videos honoring Harold Alfond’s legacy and providing an overview of the $110 million plan are now available at goblackbears.com.
