Maine Trucking for Kids Convoy Raises Over $39,000 for the Kids!
The Maine Professional Drivers Association raised $39,000 for Camp Sunshine, of Casco, and Camp POSTCARD, of Poland. The funds were raised during their annual Maine Trucking for Kids Convoy, held at the Hannaford corporate headquarters on Pleasant Hill Road in Scarborough, Maine on Sunday, September 17. Camp Sunshine, which caters to critically ill kids and their families will divide the funds with Camp POSTCARD, which caters to disadvantaged kids.
The event’s top fundraiser was Jack Roussel of PAF Transportation, who raised over $10,000 of the funds. Many local companies and drivers participated in the event which included a 71-truck convoy through Scarborough and South Portland around the Maine Mall, Payne Road, and Route 1 areas.
During the event, a touch-a-truck activity took place along with a truck show and a driving competition for the big rigs. A lot of the funds were also raised from the auction, prize raffle, and the huge barbeque. Special thanks go out to Hannaford for the use of the facility and the parking area for staging the convoy and other activities.
The event was hosted by the Maine Professional Drivers Association and the South Portland Lions Club, both of whom have been involved with this annual event for nearly 25 years. More details will be posted on the Maine Professional Drivers Association website at www.mpda.org/maine-trucking-for-kids-homepage

Special Awards – 2023
Performance Transportation
They are a small fleet but are committed to supporting our event in a big way. Not only financially, but they bring rigs in all the way from Massachusetts to help the convoy. Their commitment to this event helps Camp Sunshine and Camp POSTCARD do what they do best to help the kids. They are always one of the top fundraisers for this event and for that we say, “Thanks for what you do!”
Eric Greenleaf
Eric has been dedicated to helping make this event a huge success for a number of years. He has acted as liaison to the event for the Scarborough Police Department and through his efforts, we are able to have a safe convoy and can count on having the support of his and other departments. Eric, thanks for what you do!
B & B Towing
If you don’t recognize the name, you would have to be blind. Brian and his crew bring the most colorful trucks and wreckers to the event each year. Their vehicles are always “kid magnets” in the touch-a-truck portion and they are often trophy winners in the truck show portion. And recently they have showed up with the most vehicles from one company in the convoy. For that we say, “Thanks for what you do!”
Sebago Signworks
Sebago Signworks has been supporting the Trucking for Kids Convoy in a number of ways, and most recently you can see their banners on the front of nearly all the trucks. They have donated the banners that help identify to the public what we are doing when we convoy. Thanks so much for what you do, both for the event and for the Camps!
