CHENANGO COUNTY - Commerce Chenango is seeking donations to their annual virtual holiday event: Lights, Camera, Auction! The auction will be online from November 29th to December 6th, but auction items are needed to make the event a success.

The funds raised through this auction directly support the important work Commerce Chenango does to make our County a better place to visit, work, and live. Reflecting on the 2023 auction, Commerce Chenango President and CEO Sal Testani states, “Through your generosity, we’re able to continue providing valuable programs and resources for our local businesses and community members. 2024 has been an exciting year of growth for us.”

Testani specifically cited the addition of more than 123 new members, and several successful

events, including the second annual Taste of Chenango, the Annual Commerce Chenango Gala, and the popular Member Appreciation Event in September. He claimed, “None of these achievements would be possible without the unwavering support of our members and local businesses like yours.”

Donated items will be advertised on the Commerce Chenango website and Facebook page, and the company that donated the items will be credited. Commerce Chenango Membership Director Terri Slater said “This is an opportunity to donate something that represents your business, allowing you to showcase what you do and who you are to our community. When you support programs like Commerce Chenango you not only make your business shine, but you also help the community as a whole look better.”

Donations can be products, services, experiences, or other offerings.
