Boothbay Region Community Resource Council (BRCRC) is proud to announce that Set For Success founder Sue Burge has been nominated for the 2019 Maine Mother of Achievement Award. This award is presented by American Mother’s, Inc., a national non-profit organization which actively honors the mission of its founders Eleanor Roosevelt, Sara Delano Roosevelt, Mamie Eisenhower, J.C. Penney, and Norman Vincent Peale. Since 1935, American Mother’s has been dedicated to improving the lives of mothers and children in the United States and around the world.

Along with mothers nominated for Mother of the Year, American Mothers recognizes women whose efforts and philanthropic service have made a significant impact and achieved positive outcomes for mothers and children on a local, state and/or national level with the Mother of Achievement award.

Set For Success, a program of BRCRC, is as a back-to-school event that equips every Boothbay Region Pre-K through 8th grade student with a new back pack and teacher required school supplies. The event takes place the third Sunday in August at the Boothbay Harbor YMCA where children can also receive a free hair cut at the Set For Success hair salon and gifts of support from 35 businesses and non profits from across the Boothbay peninsula and beyond. Set For Success has also been adopted by several other communities across Maine.

Sue is the wife of Bill Burge and mother of three sons, Bill, Jeff and Toby Burge. She has seven grandchildren, Ethan, Tyler, Nicholas, Shelby, Jacob, Zachary and Magen Burge.

Sue will be traveling to to Washington D.C. April 28-30 for Mothers of America National Convention where the 2019 Mother of the Year and Mother of Achievement winners will be announced. BRCRC invites friends and colleagues to join us in congratulating Sue on her nomination. We are sure Sue will be a wonderful representative for the state of Maine.
