We hope you will support this SCCHS Fundraiser:

At this month's Greater Odenville Chamber of Commerce, we had the privilege of hearing our St. Clair County High School Football Coach, Tyler Robinson, speak. It was so great to know that our students are in such good hands as he leads these players into not only a success football season, but as he leads them into being great leaders as they grow and mature!

Coach Robinson is pictured here with GOCC Board Members: Todd Seay, Jaxon Phillips, Dona Bonnett, Paul Perry, Bob Powell, Eric Pearson, Megan Graham, Candice Hill and Pat Shipp.

The other two grants available are the Scholar Grant (grades 2-8) and the Champion Grant (grades 9-11). These are centered around STEM. The Scholar Grant is focused on math and English and the Champion is focused on math and science. A group of teachers (two or more) must apply. These grants are up to $7500.

Our Odenville Car Show is right around the corner so be sure to mark your calendars. Vendors and Sponsors are currently being accepted and you may also register your favorite ride. As previously mentioned, all proceeds from this awesome charity event will benefit Odenville Police Department, Odenville Fire Department and St. Clair County Athletic Booster Club so don't miss it!!!

The car show is just around the corner on Saturday Oct. 19^th, and we are working feverishly to have another successful year!
This year’s beneficiaries are …

• Odenville Fire Department
• Odenville Police Department
• St Clair County Athletic Booster Club

 Our goal is to raise $40,000 to be split between the 3 organizations and a major part of that comes from the generosity and support of businesses like YOU!
 
The 2024 sponsorship application is available on the chamber website and hope that you will consider being a part of this community event again this year.
 
In addition to the sponsorship advertising that begins September 1st, you can also promote your business by donating items with your logo for goody bags and door prizes.

We do goody bags for the 1^st 200 registered cars, so smaller promotional items like towels, pens, key chains, lip balm, koozies etc work good for these bags which are supplied by Visit St. Clair!

We also do 8 door prize - 5 gallon buckets. So fewer, larger items such as 20-40oz cups, tools, etc. would be good for this!

Also, if you would like to participate as a vendor, vendor spots are available and registration deadline is September 30th. Vendor applications are also available online.
 
Thank you so much for your past and continued support!
