Sea of Blue donates funds despite canceling its race 
NORTHEAST HARBOR—Even though the annual Sea of Blue Autism Awareness 5K run and walk was canceled this year, organizers are not letting that stop them from raising funds for the Autism Society of Maine.  
The fundraising was a little different this year, said Susan Heel, whose son Chris started the race in 2014 as part of his Senior Exhibition project at Mount Desert Island High School. Donations this year did not come from event sponsorships and participant registration, but from two long-standing business donors who have continued to support the event since inception: Curtis Shoe and Darling’s. Heel said that Sea of Blue waited as long as it could before canceling its April event, but ultimately had to make the difficult decision.
