Join us at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center for the exclusive premiere of Win Lose or Draw I am Jess, the latest film in the Hearts of Maine mini-doc series, produced by Portland Hearts of Pine.

From her family watch parties to a hospital room overlooking Fitzpatrick Stadium, this heartfelt documentary follows Jess, a lifelong soccer fan who finally has her hometown team. When a cancer diagnosis changed the course of her life at 30, Hearts home matches have helped her navigate a recovery journey riddled with hurdles and hardship.

With the loving support of her friends, family, and soccer community, Jess’ story of survivorship parallels the rise of Maine’s professional soccer club, and as Jess battles complications following the a life-saving bone marrow transplant, returning to the stands serves as a goal that keeps her determined to overcome every obstacle.

Before and the screening, hear from Hearts of Pine founder Gabe Hoffman-Johnson, the filmmaker Austin Mills, Head Coach Bobby Murphy, and Jess Donovan herself. 


As part of the evening, NMDP, a crucial part of the life saving care Jess received, will have volunteers on site. They will be offering a quick, 5 minute registration and cheek swab for anyone interested in joining the national stem cell donor registry.

By signing up, you will be joining hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have stepped up to potentially provide life saving care for patients navigating health journeys like Jess’s. To register, you must be between 18 and 35 years old, in generally good health, and willing to donate to any patient in need.

If you are unable to attend but would still like to support, you can request an at home swab kit here(opens in a new tab).
