A Partnership That Powers Possibility: The Brook’s Commitment Drives Lasting Impact for Great Bay Services

Seabrook, NH – For more than a decade, The Brook has been much more than a charitable gaming partner to Great Bay Services (GBS) – they have been an unwavering champion of GBS’ mission and a valued member of the community.
 
Since 2012, their generous support has helped transform possibilities into realities. “It’s difficult to fully express the impact this partnership has had over the years,” Jon Stimmell, Executive Director of Great Bay Services, shares, “but one thing is certain: their commitment has made an extraordinary difference in the lives of our members and their families.”
 
The funds generated through this charitable gaming partnership have allowed Great Bay Services to develop innovative, creative, and forward-thinking programming that consistently exceeds expectations. From introducing new opportunities and experiences to enhancing the quality of their services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this support has empowered GBS to provide programming that is both cutting-edge and meaningful for the individuals they serve.
 
What makes this partnership truly special, however, extends far beyond financial support.
 
The team at The Brook has taken the time to build genuine relationships with Great Bay Services members. They don’t simply know the nonprofit organization – they know the people behind it. They greet members by name, celebrate their achievements, and create meaningful connections that reflect their sincere care and compassion. Their staff consistently demonstrates kindness, respect, and an authentic interest in the lives of the individuals GBS supports.
 
Their dedication is also evident through their involvement in the broader community. Whether inviting Great Bay Services to participate in community events, celebrating milestones alongside them, or finding new ways to raise awareness of the GBS mission, they continually look for opportunities to include and uplift Great Bay Services members.
 
Over the past 14 years, this partnership has grown into something far deeper than a charitable relationship. It is built on trust, shared values, mutual respect, and a collective commitment to creating opportunities and enriching lives. Together, The Brook and Great Bay Services have celebrated successes, embraced new ideas, and worked toward a common goal of building a stronger, more inclusive community.
 
Great Bay Services is incredibly grateful for The Brook and their continued belief in their mission. Their generosity, dedication, and heartfelt support have shaped who GBS is today and continue to inspire what they can achieve tomorrow.
 
Great Bay Services’ members, families, guardians, staff, and Board of Directors, share thanks to The Brook for standing beside them every step of the way. GBS looks forward to many more years of partnership, friendship, and making a lasting difference together.

DEI Statement

​Great Bay Services was founded at the time that the US civil rights movement was being born and see our history as being tied to the fight for justice and equity. Throughout our 70-year history we have evolved and grown alongside major diversity legislations and societal changes. Disability is the forefront of our organization, but we encourage and celebrate all forms of diversity, fostering equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility for all. Creating an inclusive community where everyone has access to equal opportunities and feels they belong is vital to us as an organization – not just within Great Bay Services but in the world around us. We welcome and encourage all to live happy and healthy lives no matter who they are, where they come from, what they look like, their gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or age.
