The Brook delivers record $12.6 million to charities in 202522 January 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- As The Brook celebrates another year of record-breaking charitable fundraising, local organizations are reaping the benefits. The casino's $12.6 million in 2025 donations pushed its six-year total past $41 million, funding everything from hunger relief and mental health services to early childhood education and medical transportation. Located just over the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border, The Brook, known as America’s Largest Charity Casino, operates under New Hampshire's unique charity casino model, allocating a portion of all gaming revenue to local organizations through rotating five- to ten-day cycles. This structure has enabled consistent, substantial support across the region, including free medical transportation for critically ill patients through Angel Flight NE and life-changing wishes for children facing serious illnesses through Make-A-Wish New Hampshire. "What sets The Brook apart is our unwavering commitment to the communities we serve," said CEO Andre Carrier, who leads the only 100% employee-owned hospitality resort casino company in the U.S. "Every visitor who walks through our doors becomes part of something larger – a charitable mission that's transforming lives throughout the region. We're proving that businesses can be both profitable and purposeful, and we're just getting started." Among the 2025 beneficiaries, Kingston Children's Center received funding for facility upgrades and staff development initiatives that enhanced educational quality without increasing costs for families. "The Brook's support has been game-changing for us," said Jemima Chapman, Program Director, whose organization used the more than $80,000 in charity dollars from The Brook to cover essential expenses like new flooring, professional staff training, and playground improvements. “The Brook's partnership allows us to maintain a high-quality early education program with well-trained staff and excellent materials without raising prices astronomically for parents. For a program serving around 100 families, this support makes all the difference." NH Hunger Solutions, which received more than $66,000 in charity dollars last year, used the funds to advance food security advocacy and expand access to nutrition programs. "We truly appreciate The Brook's continued investment in NH Hunger Solutions," said Laura Milliken, Executive Director. "These funds supported our advocacy, community partnerships, and efforts to reduce barriers to programs like SNAP and school meals. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to the communities they serve and for being such a reliable partner in this work." Just 40 miles north of Boston, the 75-acre property offers over 600 gaming machines, live table games, a 10-table poker room, New England's largest sportsbook, and New Hampshire's largest Stadium Gaming experience. Beyond gaming, The Brook has established itself as a premier dining and entertainment destination, highlighted by 9 Dragons, an expansive Asian dining experience created in collaboration with the legendary Kowloon restaurant, and the chic Forbidden City lounge with live music and DJ events. Lucky's restaurant pays homage to a local gambling legend's culinary passion, while Seasons Showroom — a sophisticated 300-seat venue featuring plush seating and a dedicated bar — hosts a rotating lineup of musical acts, tribute bands, and comedy shows. |
