Parent Getaway

This program is placed on hold until further notice. Please watch this page for updates.

Do you know a parent(s) of a child with special needs that could use a day of rest and relaxation?

Robbie Foundation is accepting nominations for a deserving parent(s) of a child with special needs. We are partnering with Gorham Savings Bank to offer a day of respite so that parents can indulge in luxury at our expense.

How to Nominate

Share their story with us by writing an essay containing less than 500 words.  Please include the family’s day-to-day challenges as it relates to the child and provide us with as much information as possible about the child’s needs.  This helps us in the selection process.  We will then choose a lucky winner(s) to indulge in a day of pampering that may include an overnight stay at an extravagant hotel, a day of spa services or a chauffeured ride to a romantic dinner, etc.

Fill out our Online Form and submit by May 15th / November 15th. (sorry, no paper submissions accepted)

If your essay is not selected for this Getaway, you may re-submit it for our next Getaway in a few months
