Amherst County Chamber of Commerce

Amherst County Public Schools Education Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to enhancing education for the students and teachers of Amherst County. The Foundation's goal is to secure resources from the community by raising awareness of the importance of education and developing partnerships with local businesses. With these resources, the Foundation enriches many classrooms by providing items not traditionally funded within the annual school budget. Each year, the Foundation is in need of corporate and individual sponsors to underwrite their three main fundraising events. The Winter Luncheon in February showcases the talents of their Amherst County students. The Captain's Choice Golf Tournament in June kicks off the start of summer with a great lunch and a round of golf at one of Amherst's most beautiful courses. The Back-to-School Raffle in late August provides a great selection of raffle items, cash prizes, and a delicious dinner.
