The Brook, a gaming and entertainment destination in Seabrook, has directed more than $50 million to New Hampshire charities since the property changed hands in 2019, supporting organizations focused on mental health, crisis response, food security, early childhood education and other community needs across the Seacoast.
The Brook will mark the milestone with a free drone show over the property after dark on Friday, September 25.
The Brook operates under New Hampshire’s charity casino model, which directs a portion of gaming revenue to local nonprofits through rotating five- to 10-day fundraising periods. Since 2019, hundreds of organizations have benefited, including Angel Flight NE, Make-A-Wish New Hampshire, Seacoast Mental Health Center, and Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation.
“Fifty million is the headline, but it isn’t what we think about,” said Andre Carrier, CEO of The Brook. “We think about the counselor in a school office, the family receiving mental health support and the child whose wish becomes possible. Every guest who walks through our doors is part of that.”
Funding from The Brook supports a school counselor provided through Rising Tides, a Mindset Initiative, serving students and families in the Seabrook, Hampton Falls, North Hampton and South Hampton school districts. Donations also help Seacoast Mental Health Center provide behavioral health care, case management, substance-use services and 24/7 mobile crisis response in eastern Rockingham County.
“The funds received directly support critical care for thousands of individuals annually,” shared Michael Wilson, director of development at Seacoast Mental Health Center. “This investment helps ensure that everyone in our community who needs support can access services when they need them most.”
The 75-acre Brook property is located just over the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border, approximately 40 miles north of Boston. It features gaming machines, live table games, a poker room, sportsbook, Stadium Gaming, restaurants and the 300-seat Seasons Showroom.
