ROCHESTER, NH – The Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt thanks to all sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants who contributed to the success of the 2024 Chamber Raffle, held on August 9 at the Rochester Elks Lodge.

The last ticket drawn, sponsored by Deepa Reddy DMD, PLLC, awarded a grand prize of $10,000 to lucky winner Phil Boisvert.

The evening was filled with excitement and entertainment, masterfully hosted by Matt Beaulieu of Service Credit Union. Attendees enjoyed great hospitality and delicious food provided by the Rochester Elks, with support from sponsors including Waste Management, Palmer Gas & Oil, and Laars Heating Systems.
