2024 Year in Review

We Thank YOU!

As summer comes to a close, what better opportunity to pause and reflect on all that Project Sunapee has accomplished over the past year? Thanks to the generosity of all you who have supported Project Sunapee through monetary or in-kind donations, by attending our ‘Sock Hop at the Top’ event, by volunteering at one of our community events or otherwise, we have been able to continue to proudly serve our community, carrying out a number of long-standing, new, and important community initiatives. Read on to learn more about our work in 2024 and exciting things still to come before we close out the year.

Hosted “Teddy Bear Picnic” in the Harbor, a long-standing tradition showcasing the amazing Julie Love, with singing, dancing, and lots of fun for our young community members.
