GORHAM, ME – The Reed Allen Community Fund Golf Ball Drop is back for 2026, and it lands right in the middle of Homecoming.

Hundreds of numbered golf balls are released from a Gorham Fire Department ladder truck high above a target at midfield, and where your ball comes to rest decides what you win.

You do not need to be present to win. Every ball is tracked by its unique code, so you can buy from anywhere and we will reach out if your ball lands a prize.

Prizes: $1,000 Grand Prize for the ball closest to the hole; $250 Gift Card for the second closest to the hole; $50 Gift Card for the ball that lands the furthest away

Help us reach $20,000 for Gorham families!

How It Works

Buy your golf balls. Pick up a single ball or grab one of our discounted packages. Each ball is assigned a unique code that is yours for the drop.

Watch the drop. At halftime, every ball is released at once from the Gorham Fire Department ladder truck. They bounce, they scatter, and the whole stadium leans in.

Win prizes. The closer your ball is to the hole, the bigger the prize, and there is a special prize for the ball that lands the furthest away.
