              Description

              The River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County cordially invites you to an elegant evening filled with laughter, while also giving back to our community. Join us for our annual charity auction. This year's event will be held on Thursday, November 6th.

              A professional auctioneer will feature a wide variety of items, such as golf packages to local courses, exquisite jewelry, one-of-a-kind gift baskets, unique experiences and much more. A generous portion of proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting our selected recipient: Bellwether Harbor!

              Bellwether Harbor  Animal Shelter is a public animal shelter in Fremont, MI. With donor and community support the shelter focuses on four key programs: Intake & Adoption, Training & Humane Education, Trap-Neuter-Return(TNR) and Direct Support to the Community. Funds from the auction will directly support:

              • Veterinary services for spay/neuter and vaccinations
              • Purchase of remaining essential equipment, including another surgery table heating pad and additional anesthesia machine
              • Ongoing supplies such as food and recovery care items
              • Outreach and education to increase community awareness and community participation 


              This evening is not only an opportunity to give back but also a chance to network with community leaders, business owners, and fellow philanthropists. It is a night of celebration, where we come together to make a difference and bring hope to those in need. We hope that you will join us for this special evening and help us make a positive impact in our community. Please RSVP by November 1st to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you there!

              We are humbled and so grateful with the generosity that our recipient and chamber received in 2024.  Approx. $14,000 was donated to Love INC of Newaygo County for their Rooms of Refuge program with your generous support! 

              ♦Sponsorship Opportunities are available
              ♦Volunteer with us! 


              FAQ:
              What is the attire: Cocktail attire - a balance between polished and relaxed. More elevated than business casual, but not as formal as a tuxedo or floor-length gown. But really, we just want your presence and for you to be comfortable!
              Parking: This venue is super accessible and plenty of parking. There are reserved handicap spots in front of the venue or a convenient and covered drop off location. 
              How can I help? We'd love your help! If you'd like to donate, please fill out this form or there's a  Printable option here. We also love volunteers - sign up pending.
              What payment methods do you accept? During the event we will accept cash, check or credit card. An invoice option will not be available during the event. We kindly ask you to not check out until the live auction has been completed. 
              How can my organization apply to be the recipient? It's easy! Submission deadline was 7/24/25. Thank you for your interest. Announcement will be made soon!
