Community Awards Coming in September

This year marks the 62^nd year the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce is presenting awards for exemplary contribution to the betterment of the greater Zephyrhills community in various categories. The event will take place on September 14^th from 6-9 p.m. at St. Joseph Parish Center with limited seating but unlimited entertainment as this year’s theme is taking us back in time with a theme based on the 1947 blockbuster “It Happened on 5^th Avenue”, a nod to the chamber office location.

The nomination committee faced a real challenge slating the nominees and picking winners as over 65 nominations were submitted this year. Every nominated business, organization, and each individual was very deserving of recognition and the Chamber is proud of all of those who inspired community members to place names on the ballot. The committee focused on each award criterion and worked to narrow the field to slate your nominees for the 2023 Annual Membership Appreciation & Community Awards Banquet. The following businesses, individuals, and organizations are the top nominees in 7 different categories:
