DANA, J.

[¶ 1] Donald Coulombe appeals from a summary judgment entered in the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Studstrup, J.) in favor of The Salvation Army on its affirmative defense of charitable immunity. Coulombe contends that the court erred in concluding that The Salvation Army is an organization entitled to charitable immunity and did not waive its immunity by maintaining liability insurance. We disagree and affirm the summary judgment.
