This year the Chandler Chamber of Commerce celebrated their 35th Anniversary of the Chandler Chamber Community Awards, presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos. The awards honor local businesses, educators and community members for their outstanding contributions to Chandler. In addition to these accolades, the Chandler Chamber Community Foundation (https://www.chandlerchamber.com/chandler-chamber-community-foundation) awards scholarships to Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) students.
At the June 2022 event, themed Chamber-Opoly, the Foundation awarded three students this $2,500 scholarship: Trisha Begody, Sommer Meadows, and Abraham Richardson.
