The team won the money in a drawing by participating in the station’s “Swing for the Fences” promotion. From June through September, WEGP donated $10 to a non-profit organization that serves youth in Aroostook County for every home run hit by the Red Sox. The Snowdogs consist of 28 team members that scrimmage two times a week from early-December until mid-April. They play games against local high schools and UMPI in preparation for participation in the State of Maine Special Olympics tournament held at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham in the spring.
