Annual Hayward gala honors local business and public servants

The 71st annual Hayward Chamber of Commerce's Gala is taking place this January.

Guests will be treated to a cocktail reception, then a sit-down dinner, which will include wine. There will be live and silent auctions taking place to raise funds for Leadership Hayward. In addition, four awards will be handed out to deserving individuals in the city.

Instead of Business Person, one of this year's awards will be handed out to the Business Family of the Year. This year's winners are the Ly Family, who started the Sugar Bowl Bakery. Other awards to be given out are ‘Educator’, which will go to Jessica Saaveda, ‘Firefighter’, which goes to Captain Don Nichelson, and ‘Police Officer of the Year’ which will be awarded to Craig Fovel and Aaron Runulfson. Winners were nominated by their peers and announced at a previous event in November.

Organizers of this event mailed out Invitations to Hayward Chamber of Commerce members at the beginning of December. Printed materials such as this are often provided by local Stationery printers.

The Chamber Gala is being held at the University Union on January 31 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Tickets are $125 each or $1,000 for a table of eight. To find out more about this event, or about Leadership Haward, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 510-537-2424.
