Birmingham, Mich. – The Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber presented a check for $12,500 to more than a dozen nonprofit organizations for their hard work and dedication during the recently completed Birmingham Village Fair.
The 56th Annual Birmingham Village Fair took place May 30-June 2 at Shain Park in downtown Birmingham. The four-day event featured carnival rides, games and food. This year, there were 15 nonprofits participating in the event. Members of these nonprofit groups volunteered to clean up the park grounds, working to create both a clean and positive experience for everyone in attendance.
“The Chamber’s primary mission is to support the local business community, but our board of directors and members feel strongly we must also support the community in general through our nonprofit partners,” said Chamber President Joe Bauman. “Because of the outstanding support we receive from our carnival operator North American Midway Entertainment and our Presenting Sponsor, United Shore, the Chamber has gifted more than $100,000 in financial grants in the past six years alone to our nonprofit partners who work so diligently to maintain and improve the quality of life in our hometowns.”
The benefactors of this year’s Village Fair include the BBChamber Foundation, Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition, Birmingham Command Officers Association, Birmingham Education Foundation, Birmingham Lions Club, Birmingham Optimist Club, Birmingham Police Officers Association, Birmingham Village Players, Birmingham Youth Assistance, Bloomfield Hills Schools Foundation, Rotary Club of Birmingham, Sky Foundation, Team GUTS, The Bottomless Toy Chest and The Pink Fund.
The Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber is a membership organization dedicated to promoting the economic development, strengthen the business climate and improve the quality of life in the six communities it serves, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township and Franklin.
