All Charities Weekend: How Can Your Business Get Involved 

 

Last year, your Chamber was given a unique opportunity to promote our sponsored businesses to Ocean Reef members while giving back to those in need in the communities of Key Largo, Homestead and Florida City.  Last year's sponsors were exposed to over 400 Ocean Reef Club residents. We are being extended this valuable opportunity once more through All Charities Weekend. 

The most active, engaged and philanthropic families in Ocean Reef join together to support one highly-anticipated social event of the year, All Charities Weekend, which raises over $6 million each year for non-profit organizations. The annual auction will be held on February 7 and 8, 2019.

*Preferred Partners
Each donate $50,000/year to cover event costs. All donated monies go to non-profits and not to their operating expenses thanks to their Preferred Partners. 

*Donate a Silent Auction Item
If item is worth $5,000 or more, one team member will be invited to accompany item at auction.

*Ocean Reef Chamber Luncheon
The luncheon sponsors will be displayed on a banner at the luncheon. Additionally, sponsors will have the chance to volunteer at the Friday night wine tasting event and gain even more exposure.
