Starting Monday, November 11, Star Island welcomes United States military veterans to enter a raffle for free room and board during the 2014 summer.

Offering a free week (seven nights) for a military veteran and members of his or her household, this raffle is Star Island’s way of saying thank you to the veteran community. Veterans are encouraged to go to StarIsland.org/Veterans to learn more and register for the free raffle.

“We respect the sacrifice veterans make for all of us,” said Star Island CEO Joe Watts. “And this is a way we can show our appreciation as an organization.”

The Star Island Veterans Raffle is free to enter and open to US military veterans and active members in the US military. The winning veteran and members of his or her household will receive a free week on Star Island during selected dates of the 2014 season.

Star Island is New England’s unique summer island offering programs with over a century of history. As a vibrant destination for families and individuals each summer, Star Island seeks to create community that frees all who come to explore matters of consequence. Star Island is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization built on the traditions of the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association.
