The 2nd Annual Flotilla to Fight Cancer
with the Don Campbell Band
Saturday, Aug 20th 2022, from 1pm-5pm
Taking place off Cow Island, in Casco Bay, Maine
Making good on a commitment made last summer, Don Campbell and the Don Campbell band are pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Flotilla to Fight Cancer – a free benefit concert out on the water, with all donated proceeds benefitting the Maine Cancer Foundation. This year’s event takes place Saturday August 20, off Cow Island in Southern Maine’s Casco Bay.
This free concert event is an actual flotilla of seacraft made up of concertgoers whose donations will benefit the Maine Cancer Foundation. The band will be performing from a ‘stage’ aboard a lobster boat, with their audience gathered in boats of all shapes, sizes, and styles. The things that unite them are many: a common interest in fighting cancer, honoring those who have endured the disease, revering the professionals dedicated to treating and curing, as well as lovers of music, boating, and the many friends and fans of the Don Campbell Band.
Last summer’s pioneer event was a runaway success, with this first-time concert-on-the-water fundraiser raising $31,059 for the Maine Cancer Foundation; well-exceeding its goal of $25,000. This was accomplished through the collective support of an audience that was not only generous in spirit, but also in size.
Looking ahead to this year’s event and fundraising, Don Campbell says, “We were all very humbled and grateful for the generosity that last year’s event displayed. We are looking forward to putting on another terrific concert in August and hope that the word will spread about this truly unique event to benefit a truly amazing organization.”
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
