Chamber News & Community Events for November
We hope you received our annual appeal mailing recently. We are thrilled to launch our first appeal to support the Chamber's Charitable Foundation. The work of the Chamber is mainly financed by the investments of its members. The Darien Chamber Charitable Foundation is funded by our community.
The DCCF is the Chamber’s fundraising arm, a separate 501(c)3 set up to support and facilitate programs that enrich the quality of life in Darien and help us best serve our community.
Our two main initiatives we raise funds for every year include:
The College Scholarship Program, six scholarships are awarded to four deserving DHS seniors and two high school graduates of Chamber Members, annually.
The Holiday Lights Program, decorates Darien's lamp posts during the holiday season... a beautification effort bestowed upon our community and provided by the Chamber for over 15 years.
A donation from you will make a huge difference by providing for and continuing the programs that Darien relies on and cherishes, year in and year out! Thank you for your consideration!
Warmest Regards,
The Darien Chamber & Darien Chamber Charitable Foundation
#Darientogether is Back!
This beloved shop local Instagram initiative between The Corbin District and The Darien Chamber will again this year enable us to support our community businesses and at the same time encourage residents to shop locally. For a chance to win a $250 gift card, all you need to do is snap a photo - a selfie in a local shop or a picture of the store where you made a purchase - then post it on Instagram and tag the store, @thecorbindistrict, @darienctchamber & #darientogether. We will choose 6 winners a week and on December 24th all participants will be eligible for a chance to win one night at The William Vale Hotel, Brooklyn, NY, one night at the Marram in Montauk, or one night at The Taconic Hotel in Manchester, VT.
