Chamber Day
Contributor
We made it past $80,000!!! What a great way to start off May as we head towards the finish line of Chamber Day 2020. We begin with Silver-level donations that highlight a couple of the unique aspects of Chamber Day.
The first is from Bill Holzer in honor of and in memory of his late wife Corinne. The Challenge is a nice way to not only support the Chamber but to do so in memory of someone no longer with us. And the second one is a joint gift from Ron & Angi Burkard (Angi’s also a long-standing member of our Committee), with a matching corporate grant from Angi’s longtime employer, Phillips 66/76. This underscores how corporate matching grant programs can double the value of your donation to our Chamber.
We’re heading into the home stretch and every day will be a new record for us since this is all uncharted Challenge territory. The real question is: How high can we go? (And you can tune in to find out Wednesday night as we will live-stream the usual Ch-Eve program. Sing-in/connection details next week.)
For right now, we’d love to hear from YOU. Keep pushing us along to higher and higher ground. The direct link to sign-up and donate is: https://dornsife.usc.edu/chamberday/signup-link/. Who’s next???
