Happy Easter everyone!!!! And it's certainly a glorious Easter here at Chamber Day HQ as we can share with you that we’ve gone past $65,000 in the Challenge.
Credit for this goes to Glenn Suhd. Glenn already made a $10,000 Diamond-level donation two weeks ago. But he’s been so inspired by the idea that this is the 50th anniversary of our Chamber and that so many of you have been chipping in this year, that he called us and said he’s going to increase his donation to $15,000.
That’s also makes Glenn the very first to be listed on our brand-new Chamborium level for any donation of $15,000 or above. We quite fully realize what a generous amount that is and can assure Glenn and anyone else who wants to be listed on this level – as well as everyone with other donations – that the money is put to good use making sure your Chamber stays at-the-ready 24/7/366 (366 instead of 365 since 2024 is a Leap Year.)
It would be lovely if others join Glenn as Chamborium-level donors. But it’s also lovely when you donate $100 or $500 or whatever you can afford and whatever you feel our Chamber is worth to you and your friends. Much as we appreciate the large donations and the boost they give us, we are just as appreciative of every donation, regardless of the amount.
If you’d like to add your name to our Easter basket of donors, the way to do that is simply to go to this link:
