Dear Supporters of the Swinging Bridge
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the dissolution of Save Our Swinging Bridge Organization (SOSB), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. For over 20 years, our board of directors, along with volunteers, have worked tirelessly to support and maintain this beloved bridge connecting Brunswick and Topsham. Unfortunately, due to the financial impact caused by COVID-19 on our operations and resources, it is no longer feasible for us to continue our mission.
We are deeply grateful for all those who have supported us over these many years – donors who gave generously; volunteers who provided their time and energy; businesses that contributed goods or services; local government officials whose assistance was invaluable. All of you made it possible for us to make an impact by preserving this historic structure. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Since this is the last year that the SOSB offered engraved bricks for donations, we are offering an extended deadline from June 15 to June 30 to our faithful donors. All donations, of course, will be allocated for maintenance to our Roebling-designed and -built bridge.
We've used these funds to make repairs to the bridge including: replacing planks, adjusting the suspending rods, and a myriad of normal ongoing repairs and maintenance.
To ensure that any remaining funds will be used for repair and upkeep purposes as intended by SOSB’s mission statement, we are working with the Town of Brunswick and transferring assets accordingly. Any questions or concerns can be directed to the Town of Brunswick or Topsham.
