Network, Celebrate and Sponsor in Style at the 'Boldt Gala!


Each year, the Greater Eureka Chamber hosts its annual business awards celebration, to recognize the exemplary businesses who go above and beyond to serve our region. For 2025, we are excited to announce that we will be returning to The Acres for the 'Boldt Gala a haute couture-inspired evening, modeled after the renowned NYC fashion and fundraising gala held annually on Fifth Avenue.


Just as they do in NYC, we rely on our generous sponsors to make the magic happen. Our awards gala is the Chamber's largest fundraising event of the year and allows us to continue serving the Greater Eureka business community year-round. Each ticket sold supports this effort. But as a sponsor, you have the opportunity to tap into added benefits!


Sponsoring the 'Boldt Gala puts your organization's name in front of our audience of 400+ leaders. We include tickets in every sponsorship package to give you plentiful opportunities to mix, mingle and enjoy.


To learn more about sponsoring the 'Boldt Gala, you can download our sponsorship sheet here or email nancy@eurekachamber.com.


We expect this event to sell out, so get your tickets soon!
