Community Event Highlights
Take a journey through our events and relive the moments that bring our community together and showcase our shared impact.
Seabrook Recreation Department’s Festival of Trees was a huge success! We were thrilled to support one of our partners by donating a tree to their Festival of Trees event on December 4th and 5th. Our tree’s theme was Unlocking Family Fun and had over $600 in donated gift cards on it! The trees were raffled off and all funds raised went to supporting youth programming in Seabrook.
We were incredibly honored to be one of the beneficiaries of the Lonza Harvest Open Charity Golf Tournament in September 2025. The tournament brought over 200 players to The Links in Berwick, ME and The Oaks in Somersworth, NH for a day of golf, raffles prizes, giveaways, and community. We raised $31,063.19 and we were able to visit Lonza’s Portsmouth headquarters for a special check presentation.
On September 11, 2025 we gathered on the beautiful outdoor deck at The Brook for our second annual Community Appreciation Night. It was wonderful to see partners, validators, donors, and staff come together to celebrate the impact we’re making as a community. Guests enjoyed sliders, pizza, and The Brook’s famous Brookies, along with live guitar music from Artty Francoeur that set the perfect backdrop for the evening.
Exeter Country Club Women’s Association’s summer 2025 Chicks with Sticks tournament generously raised $3,200 to support our mission. Kristyn, Alli, and Kim were honored to receive a donation check from board members and golfers Lucy Palmer and Suzette Miller.
Our 2025 annual summer fundraiser was our most successful to date. The sold out event at Wentworth By the Sea Country Club raised $45,000! Redemption played all night, Swell Oyster Co. provided a delicious oyster experience, the live auction was a success, and everyone had a great time! Special thanks to all who attended and all our sponsors.
In April 2025 we were the charitable gaming partner at Hampton Beach Casino. A portion of gaming proceeds were donated to us, totaling $4,737! The staff and board got to check out the casino and try the amazing pizza at one of our board meetings!
Each year 3rd and 4th grade students at Rye Elementary School sell handmade crafts to school and community members at their Mall in the Hall event. All proceeds go to an organization that supports children, and in the winter of 2024-2025 they picked us, raising $1,826!
Each year we look forward to the Winter Cornhole Series at Exeter Bowling Lanes. In 2025, we raised $3,000, benefiting alongside Annie's Angels Memorial Fund, Community Children's Fund, and Seacoast Mental Health Center.
On October 10, 2024, we hosted our first annual appreciation event for our volunteers, donors, and partners at The Brook. Max Sullivan set the mood with his guitar and all guest enjoyed some delicious food and drinks. It was chilly, but an amazing night of community! During that time, we were the charitable gaming partner at The Brook, raising over $70,000!
The 2024 Summer Soiree at Abenaqui Country Club raised $17,000 for our work! It was an fantastic evening, complete with a signature cocktail, silent auction, moving presentation by Exeter High School’s Resource Officer Ryiah Khan, and the sweet sounds of Truffle!
