The Tracy Chamber will be hosting the first ever Non-Profit Tradeshow on Thursday, June 27th from 5PM-7PM at the West Valley Mall. This event is replacing the Entrepreneur Tradeshow that traditionally occurred in June. The idea to create a new tradeshow to showcase our local non-profits and their service in the community was formed upon realizing how desperately these organizations need assistance in promoting their causes.

The goal is to bring 30 non-profits together to showcase their organization while providing an opportunity for the non-profits to network amongst themselves. This mixer will be open to the community at large to educate residents about how they can become involved with these great organizations.

Only non-profits who are Chamber members will be able to participate. There will be no cost associated with obtaining a 6 ft. table space to promote their non-profit organization. Space will be limited to the first 30. Non-profits interested in participating need to fill out the Tradeshow application form available by calling the Chamber, 209-835-2131.

Chamber members are encouraged to support our local non-profits by attending this event. Although there is no fee for admission to the event, we are asking

for a donation of $5 (or more) from attendees that will be entered into a

grand prize drawing for the non-profits who are participating in the event. At the end of the night, the Chamber will draw the name of the non-profit who will win the jackpot collected by the donations. The more people who attend the event, the more we will be able to donate to one lucky non-profit! Help us spread

the word about this great event!
