Allison Turner, Debra Tendrich and Karen Laurence at Do Good Delray Launch Breakfast
Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce Positive Enrichment for Professionals (PEP) leads group and Eat Better Live Better (EBLB) recently Partnered with Purpose for a Connect 4 Tournament — a Do Good Delray event held Oct. 27 at Aloft Delray Beach. Proceeds benefited Eat Better Live Better.
Eat Better Live Better is a nonprofit focused on improving child and community health by providing nutrition education and healthy foods. From hands-on nutrition programs to delivering healthy groceries to families in need, EBLB believes that it is their duty to make sure that children and families understand the foods they eat and have access to nutrient-dense foods.
“There is no reason for anyone to wonder where their next meal is coming from. That is why we feed with dignity and every dollar raised will help us fulfill our mission,” says Debra Tendrich, founder and president of Eat Better Live Better and part of the group which inspired the partnership.
PEP is one of six leads groups that are part of the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. Leads groups are a more specialized form of networking. These unique groups provide additional opportunities for members who are interested in a smaller, more focused, structured and frequent form of networking based on referring business. Each group is an “exclusive seat” organization — meaning there isn’t competition within each group and provides referrals among the members.
Do Good Delray (Partner with Purpose) is Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce’s new annual partnership initiative. With a desire to see increased collaboration between their profit and nonprofit members, GDBCC has created a month of opportunities aimed at growing both friends and funds in a fun, creative way. The goal is to bring like-minded people together to raise awareness, engagement and increased funding for the nonprofit’s philanthropic efforts all resulting in a new alliance.
