We are incredibly grateful to O'Fallon-Shiloh Chamber of Commerce and its generous members for their $2,100 donation to our CEO program. Being selected as the beneficiary of the Chamber’s annual holiday party is truly an honor, and this gift—collected from local businesses who believe in the power of investing in students—means more than words can express.

The timing made the moment even more special. The check was presented at our Coffee & Connections networking event on our final day of the semester, Monday, December 15th. It was a full-circle experience for our students, who confidently put into practice the communication, professionalism, and relationship-building skills they’ve developed throughout the year while engaging with business leaders, school administrators, mentors, community members, parents and our board of directors.

We are so proud of the strides our students have made and deeply thankful for our Silver Creek Area CEO community that continues to show up for them in such meaningful ways. Thank you for believing in our students and helping fuel what’s next for their entrepreneurial journeys.
