Pay it Forward & Support a Nonprofit
|
As we are always in the season of giving back, the Melbourne Regional Chamber has created an opportunity for our partners to "Pay It Forward". Have you ever wanted to help a small business owner or nonprofit get in front of a crowd and give them a chance to share their story?
Our Pay It Forward Campaign allows partners that may not be able to afford sponsorships the opportunity to get in front of a room where they can shine and share their message to the appropriate audience.
We are currently seeking donors, so if you are interested in helping a small business or nonprofit in need, please contact Anne Conroy-Baiter, for more information.
