Support Our Capital Campaign With A Commemorative Brick For All To See

Excitement is growing as construction progresses at 411 Belle Grove Drive! The $1.5 million investment in the update of our office is fundamental to ensuring we remain a world-class chamber that drives prosperity for our members and community.

There are two Capital Campaign donor appreciation areas included in the design plan that will serve as permanent acknowledgement of donors' support. The first is a donor wall in the lobby which is reserved for those at the $2500 or above level.

For donors at the $500 - $2499 level, personalized bricks outside the main entry will welcome visitors.

$1000 - $2499 donation = 8” x 8” brick with 6 lines of text
$500 - $999 donation = 8” x 4” brick with 3 lines of text

Please help us close out the campaign and show your support for the chamber's work in our community!

If you have not already placed your brick order, please do so by June 30. It is urgent we finalize spacing in order to keep the construction schedule. Payment must be received at time of order.
