The Delaware Small Business Chamber is the state's only chamber focused on small businesses and larger companies that support the local small business community throughout Delaware and the surrounding area. It has just launched an online auction to raise money to support as many as 40 $500 scholarships to high school students throughout Delaware.
The online auction features autographed sports memorabilia, replica Phillies World Series rings, replica Redskins and Ravens Super Bowl rings, Eagles NFC Championship replica rings, local small business products and services, and more. To bid on auction items by Sunday, March 20, go to www.biddingowl.com/Auction/home.cfm?auctionID=3513.
The DSBC already gives out a $2,500 yearly scholarship to an adult in college and it wants to add the 40 $500 scholarships to high school students entering a local business school with hopes that someday the students will open their own small business in the state.
Bob Older, president and founder of DSBC, said, "We have been giving back to the local community since we started this small business chamber four years ago and hope to give back even more."
People may contact the DSBC to donate money directly to the scholarship fund. The DSBC hopes to give out a total of $25,000 a year in local scholarship money. No other chamber in the area gives out anywhere near that much money back to the community. For more information or to join the chamber, go to www.dsbchamber.com or call 302-482-2120.
