Spend the Day with the CLA for the Give Big CHQ
June – TBD
This year, we will once again invite the community to spend a day with the CLA in celebration of #GiveBigCHQ. An online, regional fundraising event hosted by the Chautauqua Region and Northern Chautauqua Community Foundations. This annual day of giving is designed to raise funds and awareness for local non-profits. In the last few years, we’ve taken our Facebook followers on a virtual harvester ride and a realtime road trip to the dumpsite. We’ve also run a spotlight on our Watercraft Stewards who are stationed at boat launches throughout Chautauqua County. Be sure to follow us on Facebook for access to our LIVE events on this exciting, regional day of giving.
