The Laconia Rotary Club is a charitable organization with a mission of service to our community, workplace and world.  Our club is made up of close to 40 members, who live and/or work in our communities and are committed to serving Laconia, the Lakes Region and the State of New Hampshire.   

 Laconia Rotary Club was charted on April 27th, 1925 and is one of the oldest Clubs in our District (#7870), which includes clubs in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.  As one of the oldest Rotary clubs in NH, it’s only fitting that we partner with the World’s Oldest Motorcycle Rally, Laconia Motorcycle Week, for our annual fundraiser.  

For 31-years (in 2023), Laconia Rotary’s biggest fundraiser has been a motorcycle raffle, which runs from the winter through late spring, commencing on the last day of the Rally where we announce the winner of a brand-new Harley-Davidson right on Lakeside Avenue in the heart of Weirs Beach (June 18th, 2023 at 4pm).  Each year, we work for well-over six months selling a LIMITED number of tickets for $20 each for the chance to win the motorcycle.  

Proceeds from the raffle directly benefit our community, including organizations such as, The Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation, Boys & Girls Club of Central NH, Got Lunch Laconia, Belknap Mill Society, Gale Memorial Library, Laconia Little League, NH Veterans’ Association and many more!  Laconia Rotary has supported the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation for 65-years with scholarship contributions totaling over $354,500!  Additionally, our Club makes an annual financial commitment to the Rotary International Foundation, helping to provide financial support for global projects, such as providing clean water and emergency shelter boxes to people living in third-world countries.  Our Club’s regular operations are funded through our membership fees; therefore, every penny of our net proceeds from our motorcycle fundraiser goes directly back to the community. 

By purchasing a ticket, you agree to the full terms and conditions as listed in the Laconia Rotary Club Motorcycle Raffle Terms & Conditions, found on LaconiaRotary.org.
