 VINCE FOR VETS!

 

Patriots Defensive Tackle Vince Wilfork

This year, the Chamber is proud to partner with a Patriot on the football field, Vince Wilfork of the New England Patriots pro football team, to raise funds for our nation's patriots. Together, we are presenting Vince for Vets, our 8th annual benefit auction on Friday, April 10 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nashua. 

 

Our event raises funds for The Chaplain Emergency Relief Fund which provides New Hampshire military families with emergency needs primarily in the areas of rent, mortgage, utilities and medical bills. Funds are used to help families of deployed military personnel while their loved one is serving their country or veterans who need assistance upon returning from deployment. Of the money received as donations, 100 percent goes directly toward emergency assistance - no portion of donations or funds raised go to administrative costs and all funds stay in-state to help New Hampshire families.

  • Meet & Greet Vince - ticket holders have the opportunity to meet Vince, receive an autographed photograph and sponsor gift bag. Photos are permitted.
