We are deeply honored to share that the Galen Cole Family Foundation has received the Distinguished Service to Education in Maine Award from the Maine School Superintendents Association.

Galen and Suzanne Cole established the Foundation more than 50 years ago with a simple belief: Maine becomes a better place for all of us when we invest in its people, especially its children.

For more than 35 years, the Foundation has invested over $2 million in early childhood literacy programs. These investments have helped thousands of students become stronger readers and more confident learners while helping hundreds of teachers strengthen their classroom instruction.

Each year, the Cole Land Transportation Museum also welcomes students from approximately 70 schools. Through our educational programs, students learn the meaning of ā€œfreedom isnā€™t freeā€ directly from military veterans, spark their creativity through the Junior Curator Program, and explore science and engineering through hands on STEM activities. To date, more than 200,000 children have participated in these programs.

We sincerely thank the Maine School Superintendents Association for this tremendous honor. We are grateful for this recognition, proud of the partnerships that make this work possible, and excited about all that still lies ahead.
