*UPDATE* 
The Thurston Chamber is postponing all Chamber events through March 31 Due to Updated Protective Measures Surrounding COVID-19

The Thurston County Chamber remains committed to the health and well-being of our members and community. Yesterday, health officials updated protective measures surrounding COVID-19. For the health and safety of our members, community and staff, the Thurston Chamber has decided to postpone all Chamber events through March 31. It is our responsibility to protect the vulnerable and participate in the necessary community-wide effort to contain the spread of the virus.

This postponement includes:

  • TYP Smart Talks on March 16 and 23
  • Business After Hours on March 19
  • A Night on the Town on March 27

We will continue to seek counsel from health department officials to inform any future events that we have scheduled.

We’d like to thank all of our event sponsors, event ticket holders and community members for their support during this uncertain time. We will contact everyone who will be impacted by these postponements in the near future.

 

On Friday, March 27, attendees of the Chamber Foundation’s signature fundraising event, A Night on the Town, will ‘transport’ guests to Shanghai.

The evening kicks off with live, to-be-announced-entertainment, includes one-of-a-kind live auction and finishes with the much-anticipated after-party with exceptional musical performances.

This is the event that connects the world of learning and the world of work.  Join us as the education and business communities gather together to support the leaders of today who are inspiring leaders of tomorrow.

The Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is built on three pillars: youth education, community leadership, and small business development.  It offers five programs-each a result of community investment in education – Find Your Future, Leadership Thurston County, Math for Life, the Small Business Incubator and Business2Youth Connect. The Chamber Foundation also serves as the fiscal agent for Thurston Thrives.

Don’t miss attending A Night on the Town! Tickets to attend are $125 per person and include a cocktail social, four-course dinner, live auction, and after-party.
