If you have $25 and a desire to help fund scholarships for the top students of the Twin Cities, the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce has an investment opportunity for you.
The Chamber has for years honored the contributions of former Chehalis businessman and city councilor Rob Fuller, who quietly improved the lives of many through his low-profile volunteering and philanthropy prior to his death in 2011.
The Chamber of Commerce continues support for area youths by offering scholarships at the annual Rob Fuller Scholarship luncheon, which is scheduled for May 8 at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound.
For $25, a business representative or an individual can sponsor a student. The same amount can be put toward a gift card or be used to pay for admittance to the luncheon.
Money raised goes toward more scholarships in the future.
The event is traditionally an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of 50 young community members who have worked hard to earn the designation of top students.
It’s the largest such celebration outside of area high school graduations, and it’s one that has seen thousands of dollars raised to help students move on and succeed at the next level.
With just a small contribution, you can count yourself among those who are investing in the future of the next generation of leaders and professionals.
We’re thankful to the Chehalis-Centralia Chamber of Commerce for its continued focus on celebrating youths as it continues its core mission of highlighting and assisting the local business community.
If you are interested in sponsoring one or more of the students listed below, call the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce at 360-748-8885 or email thechamber@chamberway.com by May 2.
