We have been monitoring developments along with guidance provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding COVID-19. Further, we are exercising an abundance of caution as we implement steps to help ensure the health and safety of our customers, employees, and communities.

As such, we regret to inform you that we have made the tough decision to cancel LaunchPad for 2020. The online application is now closed and the live pitch event, including our LaunchPad Junior competition, is canceled but will return in 2021.

Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of the program. Special thanks to the entrepreneurs and small business owners who have already invested their time into applying. Saved drafts and submitted applications will be available to edit during next year’s competition.

Gorham Savings Bank believes in the resiliency of our business community and we are doing all we can to provide the support and resources needed to address this health emergency.

LaunchPad will be back in 2021. We look forward to seeing your application next year.
