The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce will be hosting its 58th Annual Awards Gala on Saturday, April 6th, 2024, at Pechanga Resort Casino. Join us for a night of glitz, glamour, and celebration, as Title Sponsor, Abbott, transforms Pechanga Resort Casino into a tropical haven, complete with palm trees, neon lights, and a soundtrack that will transport attendees straight to the vibrant streets of Miami. You won’t want to miss a second—especially the live speed painting performance on stage by Revel Artist, who creates amazing works of art within minutes.
You’ll have the opportunity to bid on the two LIVE custom paintings created during an exclusive live auction. Attendees can look forward to enjoying a classy night out as outstanding community members are recognized as Business of the Year, Service & Charitable Organization of the Year, Valley Young Professional of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Ambassador of the Year, Chairman’s Choice Award, and the Welty Award.
