A Winnipeg of generosity and giving spirit
At our Membership Luncheon on April 20, our Board Chair, Mark Jones, announced an initiative he brought forward this year to celebrate The Chamber’s 150th birthday.
When The Chamber marked 150 years on March 8, we thought, what better way to celebrate our community than by highlighting its generosity and giving spirit that defines Winnipeggers.
What does it mean to Give 150:
We want to encourage you, our members, to give back to a community that has given so much to us all and donate 150.
Giving 150 is as simple as it sounds. We encourage our members to give 150 throughout the year. Whether that’s giving 150 minutes of service, 150 hours, 150 dollars, 150 meals, or 150 pairs of socks, we challenge YOU to give your 150 to the cause that moves you.
Where to Give:
At the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, we always like to find new, innovative ways to support our members, big and small. And this campaign is no different.
