Canterbury, NH — October 6, 2025 — The Jake Deware Kindness Project celebrated another successful year of community, compassion, and connection at its 5th Annual Golf Tournament, presented by Rowell’s Services, held on September 27, 2025 at Canterbury Woods Country Club. The event raised $30,000, bringing the total funds raised over the past five years to more than $136,000 in support of local youth and community kindness initiatives.

The annual tournament, held in memory of Jake Deware, continues to honor his legacy of generosity and friendship by funding scholarships, youth programs, and community acts of kindness throughout the Lakes Region and beyond.

“Every year, this event reminds us of the incredible power of community,” said Mandie Hagan, owner of Rowell’s Services and longtime supporter of the event. “Jake’s kindness continues to ripple through every laugh, every connection, and every dollar raised. We’re proud to be part of something that brings people together for such a meaningful cause.”
