Support the Chamber Foundation at A Night on the Town!

by David Schaffert, President/CEO, Thurston County Chamber

The Chamber Foundation is the bridge between the world of learning and the world of work, and has three pillars: Career Pathway Development, Small Business Development and Community Leadership Development.

The Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, is doing phenomenal work in our community through its seven programs:

• Supporting thousands of youth through business engagement in skill and career pathway development through B2Y Connect, Math for Life, and Find Your Future

• Leadership development through our community program, Leadership Thurston County, celebrating its 28th graduating class and 800 graduates.

• Support of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) business owners via the Thurston Small Business Incubator

• Supporting our communities effort to close health equity gaps through Thurston Thrives

• Supporting BIPOC community members in achieving their educational goals through the Diversity in Business Scholarship

How can you support this critical work? The Chamber Foundation invites you to its signature fundraising event, A Night on the Town on Friday, April 14. Buy tickets, sponsor the event or volunteer by visiting thurstonchamber.com/anott.
