As the Chamber gears up to bring back the sparkle and sound of the ’70s on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at our Annual Gala: Saturday Night Fever, presented by Sarah Bush Lincoln, we’re shining the spotlight on the businesses that make it all possible—our incredible sponsors.
Your support brings the event to life and fuels the spirit of progress that defines Effingham County. This Gala celebrates the partnerships and progress that define our business community.
When you sponsor the Gala, you don’t just join the party—you take center stage. From exclusive recognition during the event to visibility through Chamber promotions, your partnership helps us honor the people and businesses that make Effingham County shine.
Let’s make this year’s Gala a night to remember—where business meets boogie and every sponsor keeps the Chamber stayin’ alive.
