MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK employees Charlie Ault, left, and Bob Davis are shown at the Autometrics Success by 6 fundraiser. In addition to volunteering at the event, the two personally donated winterization services for five individuals who drive for Meals on Wheels.
Together, he and Ray Fortin, owner of Autometrics in Brunswick, built a successful annual fundraiser for United Way. Each year, the community is invited to winterize their vehicles during a one-day fundraising event at Autometrics. The company donates 100 percent of the customer’s bill to the United Way of Mid Coast Maine and its Success by 6: Early Childhood initiative.
This year, they raised $3,000. The funds will be used for home visiting and parent education, high-quality childcare, and early literacy programs.
“Every year we look forward to working on this fundraiser with the Autometrics team. They exemplify United Way’s motto to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of the community,” said Davis, the bank’s business development officer.
“It’s easy to give back to a community that has done so much for us,” said Fortin. “Our employees feel very good about using their skills to help children through United Way. All adults can and should be part of improving children’s lives.”
