Chamber Day
Contributor
Who can push us past $80,000???
We made a huge jump in the last day due to the generosity of Glenn Suhd, who again this year comes through with a $10,000 Diamond-level donation to our Chamber. Glenn is an avid diver (he just returned from Socorro) and certainly understands not only the value of our Chamber but also understands that those in a position to help financially, on any level, are the ones who help keep our Chamber going, since our Chamber has to raise over 50% of the annual operating budget through donations and classes. So thank you for this huge leap forward Glenn.
We also want to acknowledge two returning Silver-level donors in the persons of Mark Stabb and Scott Barnes. Both Mark and Scott are longtime contributors and supporters of our Chamber and we appreciate seeing them back again this year.
One housekeeping note: We inadvertently left off Nanaz Turney’s name in the Platinum donation the other day in memory of Mark Tulin. That has been corrected in this update.
The need for public support of our Chamber is very real. And it is through your continued support, especially of the Chamber Challenge, that our Chamber can stand at the ready 24/7/365. So on this Easter weekend, who’s ready to toss a donation into our basket? Here’s the direct link to make that happen: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTKwbhUykVzL95Q
