Beverly (MA) U.S. Army Veteran wins $20,000 Cash Raffle benefiting Fisher House Boston
BEVERLY, Mass., Dec. 16, 2025 – Robert Pierce, of Beverly, Mass., captured the $20,000 cash prize in the Hanscom FCU Charitable Foundation’s annual raffle to benefit U.S. Veterans.
Pierce, who served three years in the U.S. Army, is a longtime member of Hanscom Federal Credit Union (HFCU) and accepted the big digital cash deposit at his hometown branch with HFCU President & CEO Peter Rice and Olga Kuznetsova, Beverly’s Market Manager and Certified Financial Coach, looking on.
“We are grateful to every HFCU member who entered our raffle because 100 percent of proceeds go to a much-needed cause – vital transportation and lodging for veterans who seek care at any of Boston’s hospitals,” said Rice. “We are especially pleased to award this year’s prize to Robert, who just happens to be a veteran himself. We sincerely thank him for his service and hope this holiday bonus makes for an even brighter Christmas and New Year.”
Pierce, and his wife, Stella Pierce, plan to increase their charitable contributions with the cash windfall and take a trip to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary in January.
Every single dollar raised from the annual raffle goes directly to Fisher House Boston, a New England-based nonprofit that provides a “home away from home” for military families while their loved ones receive care at any of Boston’s world-renowned medical centers.
