Thank you to The Calais Advertiser for shining a spotlight on our Jean Wood Memorial Holiday Book Drive. We greatly appreciate the help in spreading the word of our initiative that will positively impact students across Washington County through the donation of books! Thank you for your continued support. 👏📚💙

Jayna Smith [email protected] Many are familiar with The Blue Devil Fund, a not-for-profit organization started by Calais High School alumnus Chris Taylor. Since its inception in 2010, The Blue Devil Fund has raised well over $250,000 for charities in the downeast region. In 2018, Taylor added a boo...

Thanks to an anonymous donor, 100% of donations to this year’s Jean Wood Memorial Holiday Book Drive will be generously matched. If interested, please find ways to donate in the attached picture.

To date, we have donated over 8,000 books to Elementary School students across Washington County in memory of Jean Wood.

Mrs. Wood was the principal and a teacher for over 40 years at Calais Elementary School and a strong believer in the importance of reading in a child’s development. Upon her passing, BDF founder (and Mrs. Wood’s grandson), Chris Taylor, pledged to honor her memory by sharing her love of reading with students across the county through our annual book drive.

Please help us with our Holiday Book Drive again this year, with every dollar raised being matched by a very generous anonymous donor. Also a friendly reminder that The Blue Devil Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization so donations are tax deductible. Thank you for everyone’s continued support! 📚🎄💙

We had a special moment at our DIVOTS & DUNKS Charity Golf Scramble (VII) fundraiser this year: Stevie Morrison had an impressive Hole in 1 on the St. Croix Country Club’s 6th hole! As a result, Stevie won a pair of brand new drivers, courtesy of Pratt Chevrolet GMC/Pratt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram who generously sponsored numerous Hole in 1 prizes on the course!

Stevie is pictured here with Pratt owner and big supporter of The Blue Devil Fund, Ian Pratt 🚘🤝⛳️
