Gaithersburg /Germantown, MD (November 9, 2017) – The Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce’s (GGCC) Construction Direct Connect Group raised $1,130 for the Lollipop Kids Foundation from the groups AutumnFest Happy Hour held at Tapp’d in Bethesda.
The monies were raised through event registrations, a silent auction, event games, and charitable donations.
“As part of the local community, our group is focused on supporting great causes that make an impact in our backyard”, said Jerry Therrien, Principal, Therrien Waddell, Inc. & GGCC Board Member.
The Lollipop Kids program creates inclusion for children living with disabilities. Parents of disabled children are riddled with hard decisions and make tremendous sacrifices. The Lollipop Kids Foundation exists to combat social stigmas, ease the financial burden placed on these families, offer emotional support and provide a brief respite so that every child with a disability has access to a hope and a future.
Direct Connect is a GGCC program that strategically connects members in smaller groups, called Direct Connect Circles (DCC). Each Circle is composed of GGCC members that have synergistic business goals.
There are several companies that comprise the Chamber’s Direct Connect group including:
