This Giving Tuesday (and beyond) make a tax-deductible donation to the ECCI Centennial Celebration NFP to support the Civic Hall of Fame Public Memorial Fund, Second Century Fund and/or Ralph P. Pechanio Student Internship Endowment Fund at Elmhurst University.

At an investment of nearly $20,000, the interactive touch-screen ECCI Civic Hall of Fame Public Memorial has been on display on the second floor at the Elmhurst Public Library since December of 2022.  Click HERE to view the Civic HOF website.  To date, fundraising for the public memorial has exceeded its $50,000 goal.

The Second Century Fund has already allowed our Chamber to educate Elmhurst businesses and our community at large on a variety of socio-economic concerns, most recently food scarcity in Elmhurst and across DuPage County via the August 29 Multi-Chamber Hunger Action Luncheon in Lisle.  To date, fundraising for the Second Century Fund has exceeded its $50,000 goal.

Thanks to annual gifts from Ralph Pechanio, the Student Internship Endowment Fund at Elmhurst University has exceeded its $150,000 goal by more than $150,000, assuring that our Chamber will have the funds needed to offer paid internship to EU students.
