Annual Thomas Behen

Memorial Golf Tournament

Learn More

On Saturday, June 19, 2021, the 2nd Annual Thomas Behen Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at 8:00am at Dutch Elm Golf Course in Arundel, Maine.

Alas, the Holiday Season and New Year have ended the problematic year 2020. It has been a difficult year for the world, our nation and its citizens. Conversely, it has shown the resiliency of many people.

The Thomas Behen Fund, with our supporters and partnerships, have been able to continue our mission and support our community. We have provided College Scholarships to dynamic young people to continue in their pursuits and dreams. We helped send 3 youth BASS teams to the National High School and Junior Championships in western Tennessee. We were able to help families and individuals with necessities of food by feeding over 2500 people, providing over 100 families and individuals with toiletries: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap and such. We were able to provide Veterans and families with clothing to keep them warm. Also, we were able to provide Holiday gifts for a dozen families.  

As 2021 begins to unfold, we are looking forward to some exciting developments. When the snow melts and the ground thaws, we will begin the literal groundwork to build Thomas’ Casting Camp in Sebago, Maine. If you have resources, machinery or time to help, please do not hesitate to lend your expertise. We have over 10 acres sitting on the banks of Southeast Pond.  A crystal-clear pond that spans 173 acres with a variety of fish: https://www.maine.gov/…/lake…/oxford/southeast_pond.pdf  This will allow youngsters an opportunity to learn how to fish and to safely explore the Maine woods.

  • Earth’s greatest landscapes

    Some of the Earth’s greatest landscapes are beyond the reach of typical youngsters. They do not possess the skills and means to explore the great outdoors. Thomas Behen Fund will unlock those possibilities through outdoor fishing events and exploration while providing scholarships to unlock opportunities.

  • Your Giving helps

    We will provide opportunities for young people to explore Maine outdoors via our exploration and fishing camp. We cannot achieve our goals alone. We cannot achieve our goals alone. Your Giving helps open doors, create opportunities and cultivate dreams.

  • We have been humbled

    During this last year, we have been humbled by the warmth and support from our community. Through this support, we were able to achieve the tasks laid out for supporting youngsters and students.

Our Scholarships, Community Assistance and Thomas’ Camp cannot be successful without your help. Please mark your calendars for June 19th for our Golf Tournament fundraiser at Dutch Elm Golf Course in Arundel Maine.  Also, July 10th when the Mainely Bass Club hosts the annual Thomas Behen Memorial Bass Tournament on China Lake in China, Maine.  More information on these and other events will be forth coming, keep a look out on our webpage at thomasbehen.org or on our Facebook page Thomas Behen Fund. Thanks to each of you for all your kind donations and support. We hope you and your family are safe and have a great 2021.  We look forward to getting together with you soon. Happy New Year!
