Annual Awards Gala
The Gulf Breeze Area Chamber Foundation is pleased to host its annual awards gala in support of Take Stock in Children. This year’s theme was “Under the Stars,” celebrating the shining individuals and businesses who light up our community. Join us for an evening of elegance and recognition as we honor our local stars making a difference. Thank you to our title sponsor, Concannon Business Consulting!
The Annual Awards Gala is our premier event where we reflect on the previous year, recognize the Chamber’s outgoing Chairman of the Board, and honor our annual award recipients. This formal event recognizes the Business of the Year, Nonprofit of the Year, Community Leader of the Year, Young Professional of the Year, Business Leader of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and other community awards. Attendees also enjoy entertainment and a silent auction. It is an excellent chance to have an elegant evening and celebrate another year of success.

About the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber Foundation
The Gulf Breeze Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation is the charitable, 501c3 arm of the chamber. Through its mission, and with the support of its own separate board, our foundation awards multiple scholarships every year to support the Gulf Breeze community. The foundation hosts 2 major events each year to raise funds for its projects. Since its creation in 2019, the Foundation has donated $32,085 to education and military support projects. Our annual awards gala fundraises for a full 4-year college scholarship through the Take Stock in Children Program which supports students Santa Rosa County.
As one of the pillar projects of the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber Foundation, we are excited to announce our plans to annually support Take Stock in Children. Proceeds from this event will go on to support the Take Stock in Children program.
Last year's Annual Awards Gala met this goal and we were able to fully-fund a 4-year scholarship for a Gulf Breeze High School student through the Take Stock in Children Program.
Thank you, for helping our organization support others!
