Celebrate SLU brings together over 150 people from diverse industries and backgrounds to celebrate this great neighborhood we live & work in. This event was established in 2008 by the SLU Chamber to recognize organizations and companies that contribute in a meaningful way to the improvement and success of our community. This year’s celebration is back to in-person for the first time since 2020 and we can't wait! Celebrate SLU is focused on honoring the organizations that have made a positive impact in the neighborhood and community. WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED LIVE!

This event also raises funds for the SLU Chamber. The SLU Chamber, like so many of you, has taken a big financial hit since 2020. We offered free membership to businesses/organizations in the SLU neighborhood and we didn't ask our supporting members for renewal. We wanted to help alleviate financial stress while still being a resource for the community. Now, we need your support more than ever so we can recover and work to shine a light on our community and the great organizations in it. This event is helping to raise funds to support our mission! 

This year’s event will be in-person and will include live entertainment, music, delicious small bites and drinks, and much more! Our selection committee continues to honor the incredible work of our nonprofit organizations and has two award categories dedicated to nonprofits both small and large. This year's event will elevate and broadcast the incredible work being done by organizations in our community which impacts all of us!
