The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce cordially invites you to join us for our Annual Gala and Awards held virtually this year. This year’s theme? Speakeasy Night! Get out your pinstriped suits and flapper dresses; we’re going old school and jumping back into the roarin’ 1920s. The Annual Gala and Awards will be held virtually via YouTube. Tune in as we recognize and celebrate our Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, and Ambassador of the Year. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a live and silent auction and exclusive VIP experiences.
Join us April 17, 2021. VIP Experiences begin at 5:30 PM & the Gala begins at 7:00 PM.
As our largest fundraiser of the year, your support of the Annual Gala and Awards helps ensure that we can continue to support our incredible community. This year funds from Speakeasy Night will support local entrepreneurs and new businesses in our community! Your contribution goes towards the expansion of BridgeWorks Coworking Spaces in downtown Atascadero. Bridgeworks Coworking provides functional and affordable spaces to work in our community. That means that every ticket you purchase and item you bid on supports the local entrepreneurial spirit of Atascadero!
Besides, we guarantee that this event will be the bee’s knees!
