Let’s celebrate!
Join your Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce in celebrating the people, organizations and businesses that make our city and her honorees the envy of Silicon Valley at 6 p.m. Friday, March 26.
Since 1958, your Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce has been advocating for businesses and fostering community and the Celebrate Awards honor outstanding people and businesses in Morgan Hill.
Every year, community members submit nominations in various award categories and a panel of award recipients from the last five years selects the new honorees. This year they have 10 honorees.
The 2021 Celebrate Award honorees are: Large Business (Paramit Manufacturing), Small Business (My Pizza), John McKay (Man of the Year), Carolyn Wallace (Woman of the Year), Veronica Andrade (Educator), Catherine Lai (Student), Gary Palacios (Volunteer), Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (Non-Profit), MHPD Chief of Police Shane Palsgrove (Special Merit); and Ryder Kirk (Youth Rising Star).
Get ready to solve a crime of grand proportions. This year’s theme is “Murder Mystery!”
Phase No. 1 of the celebration will consist of a Virtual Awards Presentation Friday, March 26, with a 2021 Celebrate silent auction starting on Friday, March 19.
Phase No. 2 will feature a formal in-person dinner once gatherings commence once again.
Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery, all while celebrating the unique and wonderful people that devote their time, talent, heart and energy to our community.
The 2021 Celebrate sponsors include: Recology South Valley, Heritage Bank, Gary & Cecelia Ponzini and Abacus Bookkeeping.
