I'd like to donate a prize for the Raffle, Silent Auction and/or Live Auction. What do I do? Just give the Chamber a call. Members have donated the prizes for the raffle and silent auction in the past and we need your help. Also, there will be a Live Auction. We're looking for some BIG ticket items for that and we'll make sure you get plenty of recognition. By donating an item to the Gala Dinner, you'll get some nice publicity for your business and help the Chamber at the same time. If could give, please let the Chamber office know. Even if your business doesn't have a product to give, you can get a gift certificate from another member and give it away in your businesses name.
We'll come and pick up your donation. Call the Chamber at 763-421-7130 if you can give!
