Dear Chamber Members,

Each year, one of my favorite things about our Catalyst Young Professionals is watching them turn networking into something bigger: community impact.

Through Jingle Jam, our YPs have already raised more than $50,000 to benefit the next generation of young professionals by supporting local organizations and programs that help young people build stronger futures right here in our community. That is an impact worth celebrating and continuing.

Now, we’re asking you to help us decide where that impact should go next.

We are seeking nominations for a local nonprofit serving youth ages 13–18 with a specific need that Jingle Jam proceeds could help address. Maybe it’s access to educational opportunities, career exploration, mentorship, basic necessities, mental wellness resources, or experiences that help a young person see what’s possible for their future.

How could these dollars make a real, tangible difference?

Please take a few minutes to nominate an organization and tell us why they should be selected and what this funding could make possible.

I’m incredibly proud that our young professionals aren’t just building their own networks and careers — they’re investing in the generation coming up behind them. Help us identify who Catalyst should support next.

Nominate our 2026 Jingle Jam beneficiary today! *The selected non-profit must be a chamber member in good standing.

Kari
