In addition, the Chamber will award two academic scholarships to deserving Dayton ISD students.
Local businesses, organizations, and community members are encouraged to participate through various sponsorship opportunities.

Table decoration sponsors are asked to provide a table centerpiece that can also be part of the door prizes at the end of the event. Only teachers will be eligible to win these door prizes.
