Giving Back Through the Path Resorts Annual Vacation Sweepstakes

07 Jan Giving Back Through the Path Resorts Annual Vacation Sweepstakes

At Path Resorts, giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do. Each year, our annual Vacation Sweepstakes offers a meaningful way to combine memorable getaways with a greater purpose and this year’s campaign proved just how powerful that combination can be.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests, Vacation Club members and local supporters, this year’s sweepstakes exceeded all expectations. In support of the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction, we raised $4,003, surpassing our goal of $3,750 and building on last year’s total of $3,550. With 108 donors and 11,713 entries sold, the response from our community was nothing short of inspiring. Best of all, 100% of donations went directly to the Children’s Auction, helping fund vital programs and services for children and families throughout the Greater Lakes Region.

This year’s Vacation Sweepstakes featured four Path Resorts gift card prizes, giving winners the opportunity to enjoy future stays, dining, spa services and experiences across our properties. We are happy to congratulate Dennis Bertoni, winner of the $1,885 grand prize gift card, along with Linda Ayres ($940), Kathy Agate ($850) and Deborah Corbeau ($520). Each entry helped move the campaign closer to its goal and every participant played a role in making this year such a success!

One of the most rewarding parts of this initiative is seeing how the impact continues long after the sweepstakes ends. Last year’s winner, Kathy Makowski, shared a photo (above) from her stay at Center Harbor Inn and reflected on how meaningful the experience was for her and her family. During their visit, they explored the Lake Winnipesaukee area, spent time with local relatives and enjoyed dining throughout the region. Thanks to her sweepstakes gift card, Kathy even treated family members to a memorable lunch at Steele Hill Resort, creating moments that brought everyone together. Her continued support of the Children’s Auction is a heartfelt reminder of how generosity can ripple outward in lasting ways.

The Path Resorts Vacation Sweepstakes is about more than prizes, it’s about strengthening community connections and supporting organizations that make a real difference close to home. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared the campaign or participated in any way. Your generosity helps us continue to support the Greater Lakes Region and reinforces the values that guide us each year. We’re proud of what was accomplished together in the past and excited to keep building on this tradition of giving. One entry, one stay and one act of kindness at a time, we’re honored to help make a positive impact where it matters most!
