What is the Tootsie Roll Drive? In the 1970s the Knights of Columbus saw a need to help individuals with intellectual disabilities. The idea was simple. Put on yellow vests, stand at busy intersections, and storefronts offering Tootsie Rolls in exchange for small donations. How does your donation help your neighbor? Donations go to local non-profit organizations in the Fox Valley area that provide individuals with job opportunities, housing, medical needs, education, training, social opportunities, and Special Olympics funding.

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
