Orono Red & Blue Bash
The Bash this year will be the 25th Anniversary celebration of Orono Foundation for Education! This is sure to be a party you don’t want to miss that will both honor those that have helped make the Foundation what it is today and celebrate those who are adding to the legacy and impact on Orono Schools. Twenty-five years is the silver anniversary so to honor this the theme will be ‘Silver Screen’. Step out onto the red carpet and our OFE Walk of Fame dressed as your favorite on-screen character from any period. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Everyone Counts.
Your gift, no matter the size, makes a difference to every member of the Orono Community. Because of you, we are better together: fiercely committed to raising funds for today’s needs and tomorrow’s dreams.
