The Don Martin Golf Classic, held May 29 at Prouts Neck, raised more than $34,000 to benefit St. Nicholas Episcopal Church and Project GRACE in Scarborough.

Since its inception, the event has donated more than $110,000 to the two charities. Tournament Chairman Gregg Frame, a Portland attorney with Taylor, McCormack, Frame, said the tournament was a way to honor his father-in-law, Don Martin, who died in 2006.

Funds will support the work of St. Nicholas Church, including its mission and outreach programs such as the Diocesan Youth Ministries, AA meetings, Scarborough Food Pantry, Preble Street Food Bank, The Root Cellar, Girl Scouts, Brownies and Cub Scouts.

The mission of Project GRACE – Granting Resources and Assistance through Community Effort – is to improve the lives of Scarborough neighbors by identifying both those in need and those willing to share their gifts, and coordinating the interchange in a compassionate, confidential manner.

The organization has assisted more than 1,200 families since 2000 through donations from individuals, student and civic groups, businesses and churches.
