Oak Cliff Chamber is celebrating 96 years at April 30 gala

OCCC-logo-with-nameThe Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce will host its 2016 Gala & Auction: Soaring to New Heights, April 30, from 6 – 10 p.m. at the Hilton Anatole.  Chris Arnold, Game Night Emcee for the Dallas Mavericks, will be the Master of Ceremonies for the occasion.

The Oak Cliff Chamber’s 2016 Gala & Auction: Soaring to New Heights, is the chamber’s largest fundraiser of the year and the biggest event in the southern sector of Dallas. Attended by over 500 of the region’s most elite and friendly people, this black tie event will feature a star-studded evening packed with both a live auction and a silent auction, dinner, music and entertainment, games and prizes. This year will also include a car raffle.

Created in 1920, the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce is one of the oldest and most active chambers in the Dallas area. It does not receive grants or funding from any entities; therefore, it depends upon its fundraising activities throughout the year to not only accomplish its goals of providing programs and services that stimulate sustainable growth and development in the Oak Cliff area, but to also keep the Chamber’s operations running smoothly. The Chamber depends heavily upon its annual Gala & Auction event, as it is the biggest fundraiser of the year.
