Fundraising Update

Thank you to everyone who supported The Birchtree Center's fundraisers during Autism Awareness month this April! With your help, we raised more than $1,200 in support of The Birchtree Center's educational programs for children and youth with autism.

On April 1, The Flatbread Company in Portsmouth hosted a benefit night for The Birchtree Center. Families, staff, board members, and friends of The Birchtree Center enjoyed delicious flatbread pizzas from a wood-fired oven, with a generous portion of the proceeds going to support our organization. Thanks also to Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Newington, who hosted a fundraising “book fair" for our organization during their Autism Awareness Month author event on April 10.

Throughout the month, we offered a Spring Fever fundraising raffle, with a variety of prizes offering springtime fun. We sold 145 tickets; thank you to all the ticket purchasers and to our generous raffle donors:

The Boston Red Sox
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats
Pease Golf Course, Portsmouth
Rolling Green Nursery, Greenland
Water Country amusement park, Portsmouth

We held the raffle drawing at The Birchtree Center on May 30 at 8:00 p.m. , and notified the winners by telephone the following day. The winning ticket numbers are listed below. Congratulations to all our winners!
