Chamber Hosts Virtual Non-Profit Showcase

The Kearney Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 3rd annual, virtual Nonprofit Showcase, presented by D'Creamery. The showcase runs through Tuesday, Nov. 29, at kearneychamber.org/non-profit-showcase.

This virtual showcase has been designed to feature the extraordinary work of non-profit Chamber members, and to provide an opportunity for all community members to learn more about the needs of area organizations and to easily connect with them.

Visitors can help give a $500 grant to one local non-profit by voting for their favorite charity in the Nonprofit Showcase.

Featured non-profits include: Fulfillment House, Inc., Good Samaritan Center of Excelsior Springs, Kearney Enrichment Council, Kearney Family Foundation, Kearney Food Pantry, Kearney Historic Museum, Kearney Lions Club, Kearney Masonic Lodge No 311 AF & AM, Kearney Ministerial Alliance, Kearney Rotary Club, Kearney School District Education Foundation, Kearney-Holt CAN Community Acting Now, Northland Therapeutic Riding Center, Parkville Women’s Clinic, Rebuilding Together Kansas City and St. Michael’s Knights of Columbus Council 8915.

To garner community interest, visitors to the showcase will have the opportunity to register to win $100 Chamber Cash (accepted at over 40 local businesses), and will be asked to vote for their favorite participating charity, the winner of which will be awarded a $500 grant.

The event will culminate on November 29, the National Day of Giving, otherwise known as Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

The Kearney Chamber of Commerce is in the relentless pursuit of a vibrant and prosperous business community. It has a vision for all businesses to flourish and become an impactful leader in the community, to be a reliable resource for the people who live, work, and play here, and to be equipped to embrace the future of our community.
