An Unforgettable Evening with Purpose
This year’s Awards Gala marks a special milestone as we celebrate 70 years of supporting local business, fostering meaningful connections, and championing economic growth in Copperas Cove.
Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner and cocktails while networking with business owners, professionals, and community leaders from across the region. The evening combines celebration with impact, as proceeds from the event support the Copperas Cove Chamber Foundation and its mission driven initiatives.
A major focus of this year’s Gala is the continued development of the Education and Entrepreneurial Center. This initiative is designed to support workforce readiness, small business development, and entrepreneurial education for current and future leaders in our community. By attending the Gala, guests are helping invest in programs that empower individuals with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to succeed.
Entertainment for the evening includes high energy dueling pianos from Howl at the Moon, a crowd favorite that brings energy and excitement to the room. All performer tips will be generously donated to the Chamber Foundation in direct support of the Education and Entrepreneurial Center.
Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in engaging fundraising activities throughout the night, including a silent auction, the Bubbles and Bling raffle, and the Liquor and Wine Pull. Every bid, ticket, and pull helps advance educational opportunities and entrepreneurial growth within Copperas Cove.
The evening concludes with the presentation of the Annual Chamber Awards, recognizing outstanding members, businesses, and partners who exemplify leadership, service, and dedication to our community.
