Black Bear NIL Takeover: Blackout Wednesday at Evenrood’s

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bangor, Maine — The biggest bar night in America is about to get a massive injection of Black Bear pride. This Thanksgiving Eve, the Black Bear NIL Collective is taking over Evenrood’s for a “Blackout Wednesday” event that promises to be more than just a party—it’s a new wave of support for Maine athletes and our community.

As friends and family flood back into Bangor for the holiday, we are inviting alumni, fans, and locals to turn a night of celebration into a night of impact.

A New Wave of Support

“Blackout Wednesday” is traditionally known for high energy and crowded venues. By partnering with Evenrood’s, a staple of downtown Bangor, Black Bear NIL is harnessing that energy to drive support for University of Maine student-athletes.

This isn’t just about grabbing a drink; it’s about rallying behind the men and women who wear the Maine jersey.

The Mission: Black Bear NIL exists to empower University of Maine student-athletes, helping them maximize their Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities while deepening their connection to the community that cheers them on.

Exclusive Merch Drop

Attendees will have the first chance to get their hands on exclusive Black Bear NIL merchandise. These items aren’t just for show—proceeds go directly toward funding NIL opportunities, ensuring that Maine remains competitive and that our athletes feel the support of the 207.

Whether you are looking for holiday gifts or fresh gear for the hockey and basketball seasons, this is your chance to grab limited-edition apparel before it’s gone.
