COMING UP THIS WEEK

PLAN YOUR MONTH

CHEERS TO VOLUNTEERS

OAKtoberfest is coming up September 25-26 near Marion Street and North Boulevard. The Chamber will be at the OAKtoberfest ticket booth, and members can take a three-hour shift!

It's a chance to represent your business and connect with the community. Wear your company gear, and stick around after your shift for a souvenir mug and three drink tickets.

After some careful deliberation, the finalists are set across all six categories – take a look at who made the list! One award is still up to you. The OPRF Choice Award, the Chamber's highest honor, is decided by a live vote from the audience. Join us Tuesday, October 13 at The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association and help pick the winner!

INTERESTED IN SPONSORING?

Levels range from High Top to Presenting, and Award Sponsors get naming rights on an award and a say in selecting the honoree. Take a look at the sponsorship packet, then reach out to Julian Sanchez at specialevents@oprfchamber.org.
