Bangor Savings Bank Foundation awards $2,000 to Friends of Community Fitness for 2025 Fall  Foliage Tour

GUILFORD — Friends of Community Fitness is pleased to announce it has received a $2,000  grant from the Bangor Savings Bank Foundation to support its 2025 Fall Foliage Tour. This much anticipated community trip gives local residents the chance to enjoy the beauty of Maine’s fall  season while connecting with friends and neighbors.

Last year’s tour welcomed 47 participants who experienced breathtaking views, laughter and  fun while playing games together on the bus. Thanks to the generous funding from Bangor  Savings Bank Foundation, this year’s trip will be more accessible than ever. The support has  allowed organizers to reduce the registration cost, making the tour affordable for all, while also  including a delicious bag lunch provided by Maine Coffee & Mercantile.
