Special Olympics Maine is inviting you back to the beach and to take the “Lobster Dip” for a great cause.  Since 1988, Lobster Dippers have come together for a fun event and to raise much need funds for Special Olympics Maine.  2022 has been another challenging year for most, including Special Olympics Maine and your support is needed to kick-off 2023 now, more than ever!

 We thank all of you who have stayed with us and with Maine’s “ORIGINAL” Dip throughout the years and welcome anyone new who would like to “take the dip”!
