Benefit by the Sea

The 21st gala once again shows the commitment of our entire community to help break the cycle of homelessness. 200+ people came together at the Wentworth by the Sea for another memorable evening, celebrating 40 years of doing the work!
21st Annual Benefit by the Sea a Huge Success
Sponsors and Attendees help to raise more than $665,000

The success of the evening was due in no small part to the corporate and private sponsors who helped to underwrite the event. The list of more than 70 included lead sponsor The 100 Club as well as Novocure, Gary and Karen DeStefano, Lex Scourby, BankProv, the LeMay Family Goodworks Foundation, Seascape Capital Management and so many others (please see the full list below). Guests at the event were equally generous, offering pledges that essentially doubled the sponsorship dollars.

“As you can imagine, our work for those most vulnerable in our community never stops,” shared Lissa Gumprecht, Director of Development and Communications for Cross Roads. “We have spent 40 years evolving towards a proven strategy of safety and support for them, building a commitment toward advocacy and respect that the Seacoast community has stood behind from Day One. Tonight’s event celebrates that shared commitment.”

If you were unable to attend and would like to support Cross Roads House, donations are accepted year round. Every dollar raised goes to meet the immediate needs of our residents, including general operating expenses to keep the shelter open.
