COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Portsmouth’s rich history is woven into our story. The Labrie family’s roots run deep in the Seacoast, beginning with Grandma Rose Labrie — a founding force behind the Prescott Park Arts Festival in the early 1900s and a celebrated author and artist whose work has reached audiences around the world.
Today, that legacy lives on through the family’s continued commitment to supporting the arts, education, and local culture. From creating the Labrie Family Skate at Puddle Dock Pond to funding meaningful local initiatives, the family has long believed in giving back to the community that shaped them. Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club was named for the late James Labrie, a lifelong patron of the arts, and Elle’s Balcony honors their mother, extending the family’s presence and purpose into every experience within the venue.
Through ongoing philanthropy and active partnerships with local organizations, the Labrie family remains a cornerstone of the Seacoast — helping preserve its history, uplift its creative spirit, and build a stronger, more connected future for all.
The Players’ Ring is a wonderful venue and a wonderful love story of a wife continuing to make her husband’s dreams live on. As a sponsor, we were able to help them make necessary improvements.
Seacoast Science Center – Wanting to serve more of the community, we reached out to the Seacoast Science Center and became their first sponsor for the July Music Series, “Atlantic Grill Music by the Sea Concert Series”.
The Music Hall – Our love for the arts grew; we approached The Music Hall to be their season sponsor.
Prescott Park Arts Festival – We support the Prescott Park Arts Festival by sponsoring the “River House Concert Series”, where great music and entertainment meets the sea.
The Chase Home – Founded in 1877, Chase Home has served troubled youth and their families from across the NH Seacoast and the entire state.
Strawberry Banke is also the home to many stories and historical houses, showcasing period events with volunteers in costume. A not to be missed experience for folks of all ages.
In addition to these partnerships, the Labrie Group also contributes to multiple local community organizations and non-profits that align with ensuring the Seacoast community continues to flourish.
