The Patron Program is a vital source of funding for Friends of Acadia’s conservation work in Acadia, from trails and carriage roads, to youth programs and resiliency to climate change. The Patron Party is our way to thank this wonderful group of donors and build momentum for the Annual Benefit’s Live Auction, Silent Auction, and Paddle Raise.
Our greatest appreciation to the Patrons of Friends of Acadia’s 2026 Annual Benefit. Their support made our special event possible.
A special thank you to Jefferson Harkins and Joe Shepard III for hosting the Patron Preview Party on Wednesday, August 5, at their home in Bar Harbor.
