The event took place to help support the class as well as future generations with the implementation of a new scholarship fund — the focus of the night.

Class of 2012 President Nate Wildes organized the event to benefit the Blueberry Scholarship Fund, which the class is set to establish upon graduation.

“It will build as people donate but also build as the interest rate in the market grows and then when we have children, that money can be used to support them and their education here at the University of Maine,” he said.

The class sold T-shirts at the event to help fund the scholarship fund, and all drink specials featured a blueberry theme in the spirit of the fundraiser.

“I was more than happy to work with the senior class and the fundraiser seemed like a really good idea,” said Abe Furth, owner of Woodman’s.
