Maine Brain Aneurysm Awareness Committee Partners with Sea Dogs on Season-Long Community Awareness Initiative

Portland, Maine - The Maine Brain Aneurysm Awareness Committee (MBAAC) is thrilled to partner with the Portland Sea Dogs, a minor-league Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, for a year-long community engagement at Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine.

With 69 regular-season home games, playoff games, high school baseball games, and other events throughout the year, our 8 x 16’ billboard in the ballpark provides an excellent platform to promote our organization and raise awareness about brain aneurysms.

It is estimated that approximately 1 in 50 individuals in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime. Tragically, over 40,000 people in the U.S. will suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm annually, with nearly half of the victims succumbing to the condition. Of those who survive, only a third will recover without permanent disabilities.

The Sea Dogs consistently attract over 6,000 spectators per game, presenting us with a unique opportunity to reach a substantial audience as they enjoy the game and see our billboard banner prominently displayed in the outfield.

The Maine Brain Aneurysm Awareness Committee comprises a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to remembering and honoring our loved ones who have passed away due to brain aneurysms or those who have survived the devastating effects of this life-threatening condition. Our mission is to strengthen the brain aneurysm community in Maine by providing support and promoting awareness about the early detection and treatment of this critical condition.
