More than 1,200 women participated in the 19th edition of Maine Cancer Foundation's annual fundraiser for cancer prevention, early detection and access to care in the Pine Tree State.

With summer officially beginning this weekend, Mainebiz asked a dozen business and nonprofit leaders to reflect on the summer jobs that left the biggest impression.

The Falmouth-based nonprofit leads a statewide effort to reduce the impact of cancer in Maine by investing in programs that advance cancer prevention, increase screening and improve access to care for all.

Mainebiz asked nonprofit leaders how their organizations are responding to cuts in federal funding. Here are the responses, in their own words.

To mark this day of global giving to charitable causes, Mainebiz checked in with nonprofit leaders around the state.

Grants were awarded to four programs aimed at helping cancer patients navigate the health care system.

The grant recipients are working to prevent the disease in areas throughout the state, from Caribou to Rockport to Portland.

Julie Marchese co-founded the annual fundraiser for Maine Cancer Foundation in 2008.

The record-setting amount came after a five-year hiatus of the Pins For Cure event.

These words of wisdom, from movers and shakers we interviewed in 2023, span topics from startup financing to business leadership.
