Laconia Rotary Club Announces Winner of the 34th Annual Motorcycle Raffle LACONIA, N.H.

The Laconia Rotary Club proudly announces the winner of its 34th Annual Motorcycle  Raffle, one of the organization's signature fundraising events held in partnership with Laconia Motorcycle  Week®. This year's grand prize—a brand-new 2026 Harley-Davidson FLTRX Road Glide®—was awarded  to Susan Sargent, a Lakes Region resident and longtime motorcycle enthusiast.  

In an exciting moment on the final day of the 104th Anniversary of Laconia Motorcycle Week, Susan was  standing among the crowd on Lakeside Avenue in Weirs Beach when the winning ticket was drawn. As  ticket #99 was announced, she realized she had won the coveted motorcycle.  

"It's hard to imagine a more exciting way to end Motorcycle Week," said Sargent. "I've been riding for  years, and winning this beautiful Road Glide® is truly a dream come true. I'm incredibly grateful to the  Laconia Rotary Club and everyone who supports this raffle."  

Founded on the principle of "Service Above Self," the Laconia Rotary Club is comprised of members who  live and work throughout the region and are committed to improving the quality of life for others through  community service, charitable giving, and volunteerism. 

"This raffle is much more than giving away a motorcycle," said Jason Pochily, who served as the 2026  President of the Laconia Rotary Club. "It represents the generosity of our supporters and every ticket  purchased helps us continue our mission of serving our community and making a positive impact  throughout the Lakes Region."  

The Laconia Rotary Club extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who purchased raffle tickets,  volunteered, and supported this year's fundraiser. Their continued generosity over the years has allowed  Laconia Rotary to contribute over $400,000 to the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation as well as  donations supporting many youth initiatives, and countless community service projects that make a  lasting difference.
