Cianchettte Wing Dedicated During Reunion Weekend

The University of Maine Foundation received the largest one-time gift ever donated to the University of Maine by a private individual or family, a $4.2 million personal residence at 200 Woodville Road in Falmouth. 

In recognition of their gift, the Cianchette Wing of Buchanan Alumni House was dedicated on Saturday afternoon, June 2, as part of Reunion Weekend festivities. Amos Orcutt, President and CEO of the University of Maine Foundation and Todd Saucier, President and Executive Director of the University of Maine Alumni Association, toasted the Cianchettes and thanked them for their extraordinary generosity.

"The Cianchette Family, meaning my immediate family and our parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins, and everyone who have worked with us in our business pursuits, believe in the state of Maine," says Eric Cianchette. "We hope that this gift will help the University of Maine educate a new generation of Mainers who will share our values of honesty and hard work."
