This year, The Business Council of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce is celebrating their 32nd Annual Snow Ball signature black tie dinner dance and silent auction on Saturday, June 26th, 2021 at Brookside Country Club.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Snow Ball is more than just a fun evening. It is also an opportunity to give back to your community. Each year, auction proceeds benefit a local nonprofit whose mission is closely aligned with that of the Chamber. In the past 31 years, The Chamber\u2019s Business Council has contributed close to $600,000 to local organizations, thanks to the generosity of attendees and local businesses.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>This year, the beneficiary is the\u00a0Chamber Foundation \u2013 Main Street Lehigh Valley. In 2020, The Chamber, the Foundation and generous partners teamed up to support local small businesses and restaurants with over $500,000 in emergency funding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
