Kids Incorporated celebrates its 40th Anniversary with the 18th Night of Champions dinner and awards ceremony. Bob Gabordi, Executive Editor of the Tallahassee Democrat, will receive the Budd Bell Award, named after Kids Incorporated’s founder (and past recipient of the Chamber’s Distinguished Leadership’s Lifetime Achievement Award). Children’s Champions’ Awards will be presented to: Kim Barnhill, CHP Champions, Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend, Genae Crump, Ph.D., Holland & Knight, Madison Correctional Institute and United Way of the Big Bend. Tickets are $75 per person and reservations may be made online. Proceeds benefit Kids Incorporated’s programs serving at-risk families with children birth to 3 and pregnant women in Leon, Madison & Jefferson counties.
Why I joined the Chamber
“The Chamber is all about being given the opportunity to form relationships through networking. In Leads Groups, you spend quality time with other businesses, and often gain “Access” (another Chamber group focusing on younger members) to their connections as well. In Leadership Tallahassee, you gain a new family of business leaders, and are guaranteed exposure to something or some group you were not familiar with, while broadening your understanding of all things “Tallahassee”. With LT’s Building Better Boards, you get to spend an evening with a great, philanthropic/altruistic group who are learning to serve their nonprofits more effectively. With the Chamber Conference, you get to spend quality time off-site and in a more casual setting while learning more about our community. Is the Chamber helpful for your business? Absolutely – especially if you join, engage, and take advantage of the great programs they offer!”
