Ninety Nine Restaurants Annual 'Have a Heart' Raffle Raised Over $121K for Pine Street Inn

The Ninety Nine Restaurants raised over $121,000 through its annual “Have a Heart” raffle to benefit the Pine Street Inn, New England’s largest provider of shelter and housing for the homeless and Walpole's location was instrumental in those efforts.

Walpole's Ninety Nine Restaurant was one of the top eight fundraising locations out of 49 participating restaurants throughout Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The raffle was held Feb. 25 – March 10, marking the 33rd year the Ninety Nine has been involved with Pine Street Inn, resulting in a total of over $3,000,000 being raised by the generosity of guests at the Ninety Nine.

“It is with great pride that I thank both our guests and our dedicated team members for helping the Ninety Nine raise over $121,000 for the Pine Street Inn this year through our popular annual ‘Have a Heart’ raffle,” said John Grady, President of Ninety Nine Restaurants.
 
Guests purchased tickets for $2 each or three tickets for $5, with all proceeds benefitting the Pine Street Inn. One winner from each of the participating restaurants won a pair of Green Monster tickets to Ninety Nine Night at Fenway Park on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd.

Because of the extraordinary fundraising efforts by Lisa Tanguay, the General Managing Partner of the Attleboro Ninety Nine and her team members and generous guests, the Attleboro restaurant raised the most amount of money per guest during the annual ‘Have a Heart’ raffle.

In addition to the Attleboro Ninety Nine, the following restaurants were among the top eight participating locations that also had amazing fundraising efforts and the General Managing Partners of these restaurants along with Lisa Tanguay will be in attendance at Ninety Nine Night this year at Fenway Park on Sept. 3rd  for a special check dedication to the Pine Street Inn:  Pembroke, Hudson, Wareham, Fall River, Walpole, Stoneham, Franklin and Cranston, R.I.
