And, of course, awards will go out at the end to: Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, Coaches Award, Pride and Work Ethic Awards.

September Brennen Lowe Memorial Golf Tournament  Harbor House Community Service Center has been serving the Southwest Harbor and Tremont area since 1965 providing a multitude of sports and community activities. The common objective is to use sports as a medium to bring out the best in our young athletes in this rural American setting. Our instructors are volunteers who teach sportsmanship, teamwork and skills, while providing a fun safe environment. We can't do it alone we need all the help we can get. As a private/public non-profit organization we rely on financial support not only from fees and the town gifts but also from local and corporate businesses. Unfortunately there are some who cannot afford the fee for each sport, but we believe that everyone should play. The Brennen Lowe Scholarship Fund was set up to help pay the registration fees for these children. Feel free to send in a tax deductible donation in Brennen's name. Every little bit helps. Remember if you want to change the world start with the children in your community.
March Great Harbor Shootout Basketball Tournament The Great Harbor House Shootout is more than a great Maine-wide community basketball tournament - it is an economic boon to the Ellsworth, MDI and surrounding communities.

With 60+ teams participating annually, several thousand people will be eating, shopping, and looking for lodging in the area.
