Donate & Sponsorship Opportunities
The USS Augusta Commissioning Committee is tasked with raising funds for the expenses related to the celebrations in Eastport, Maine and its surrounding areas, which the Navy is unable to fund. To provide the recognition deserving of this historic occasion, we are asking for your monetary support.
After expenses are covered, additional support will be placed into a fund dedicated to supporting the crew of the USS Augusta throughout the life of the ship.
Sponsorship tiers include tickets to special commissioning events and ship memorabilia. See our donation page for more information.
