In 2013, long-time Kennebunk resident Geraldine Waterhouse and her granddaughter Paige Hill, bequeathed a generous donation for the purpose of establishing the Waterhouse Youth Endowment at the Waterhouse Center.
This endowment was created to enhance Kennebunk's quality of life by promoting and providing programs and events which foster and enhance good health, strengthen social skills, and give recreational and educational opportunities for our youth in a safe, healthy environment. The Center, which is dedicated in honor of the Waterhouse family and will be enjoyed and cherished by our youth and families for years to come.
