Join Planned Parenthood of Northern New England for an evening of inspiration, empowerment, and unity as we celebrate our signature fundraising event in Portland, Maine! Enjoy a night of Moth-style storytelling, hearty hors d’oeuvres, delicious desserts, exciting activities AND hear from PPNNE President & CEO Meagan Gallagher, who will inspire with tales from the front lines.

In the face of relentless attacks on reproductive and sexual health care nationwide, PPNNE recognizes that now, more than ever, we must come together to persist, march, vote, and care! We look forward to seeing you there.

Storytelling Information

At this event, we will be highlighting stories told in the Moth-style from our community based on the theme “More Than Ever.” (Moth Radio Hour is one of NPR’s most popular programs and features individuals telling personal stories.)

We are inviting community members like you – with a connection to sexual or reproductive health care, education, or advocacy – to submit your personal story for consideration. Selected stories will be told live at our event!

Susanne Schmidt, Moth Producer and the Director of Say it Forward Productions, will assist us in the story selection process and will then work with storytellers to edit, practice, and prepare for the event.
