A huge congratulations to Cooper Flagg on being selected as the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks! 🏀

To honor this incredible milestone, fellow Mainer and MHBBCH NICU alum Josh Rich, a graduate student at Mount St. Mary's University, has created a 1-of-1 original 24"x36" computer-generated artwork celebrating Cooper's unforgettable season at Duke. This striking piece captures Cooper's dominance over the ACC and his rise to NBA stardom.

This limited-edition, signed artwork—a product of Josh's "Graphics for a Cause" initiative—will be up for auction July 27–August 18, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting MHBBCH. 🎉

Stay tuned for the auction link later this month, and join us in celebrating two Mainers using their talents to give back. 🤩

What an incredible four days at the Drive Fore Kids Golf Tournament last week! ⛳️🙌

The event began last Thursday night with "Par-Tee Fore a Purpose," where the grateful mother of one of our young patients shared heartfelt words that set the tone for a weekend full of hope. From Friday through Sunday, the fun continued as celebrities, MaineHealth leaders, patient families, and supporters came together for one meaningful goal: helping kids in our community thrive. ❤️

We are incredibly thankful to Shamrock Sports & Entertainment, the many volunteers, and everyone who made this event possible. Because of their generosity, $100,000 was raised for MaineHealth Barbara Bush Children's Hospital! 👏

🤩 A special shoutout to our 2025 Patient Champion, McKenzie, who kicked off the tournament with an amazing tee-off!

Way to go, McKenzie! 👏⛳
