Thank you to Suzanne Bergeron and the  MOMS Club® of Bedford, thank you to the many volunteers and volunteers from St. Anselm Collge. Thank you to the event and table sponsors at our event.

The Easter Egg Hunt, which was held on April 12th, at the NH Sportsplex, in Bedford, NH.  The event continues to grow and was enjoyed by ov fundraiser.  1,200 people this year, making it one of the largest in New Hampshire!

Over 6,500 eggs were spread across the field, and the children delighted in hunting for their special treats.  The eggs were filled with candy or stickers, and a few special ones held unexpected prizes. In addition, families participated in a variety of activities including face painting, games, bounce houses, and live entertainment, and they tried their luck at the raffle and silent auction tables.  Guests also had the opportunity to visit with many local business representatives at information booths throughout the venue.

This amazing event raised $20,000 for the Our Promise to Nicholas Foundation—an increase of 33% over last year’s event. Our success would not have been possible without the continued support from our community and your generosity.
