AEC Women’s Basketball Returns To Portland

Gorham Savings Bank has partnered with MaineHealth as presenting title sponsors for the America East Conference Women’s Basketball Championship in 2018. Portland will host the tournament at the Cross Insurance Arena for the second consecutive year. Thousands of fans attended three sessions of quarter and semifinal games last season.

“Bringing top-tier tournaments to Maine allows us to showcase all that greater Portland has to offer,” said Gorham Savings Bank President & CEO Chris Emmons. “We’re excited to partner with our friends at MaineHealth this year. Giving back to the community in a meaningful way is one of our shared values.”

Tickets for the 2018 tournament, which will take place on March 3 and 4, went on sale Monday. For every ticket sold before February 1, a complimentary ticket will be donated to a local charitable or community youth group.
