2025 Gives Back Event Logo
  • 8th Annual BizConnect Gives Back Event

    Non-profit showcase at the Harbor Club at Waterside District
  • The BizConnect Gives Back event started in the year that BizConnect Hampton Roads was founded. Since the event started, over $70,000 has been raised for our participating BizConnect Member non-profit organizations. 


    At the event, there will be twenty member non-profits with a staffed table to talk to attendees about their mission. There is a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle and all proceeds are divided among the participating organizations. Sponsorship fees are also added to the total and divided among the participants.


    The event will be held on Wednesday, May 28 from 8 - 10 am at the Harbor Club at Waterside District again this year.
