The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce has announced an AtlantiCash giveaway beginning today.

“Two big factors of the Chamber’s income are events and sponsorship dollars. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we haven’t been able to host any large events, like AtlanticFest, which has put a strain on income. Not being able to have events has also put a strain on foot traffic in businesses and getting the community out and about safely. We wanted to think of a way to generate income, support our membership and businesses and engage the community, all without drawing a crowd. We felt an AtlantiCash giveaway was the perfect fit,” Bailey Smith, Executive Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce stated.

The Chamber will be selling raffle tickets beginning today, September 24th through October 15th for $20 a ticket, three tickets for $50 or 6 tickets for $100. Individuals who purchase tickets will be entered into a drawing to win $1,000, $750 or $500 in AtlantiCash. All additional proceeds will stay with the Chamber to continue supporting business and community activities.

“AtlantiCash is money that has to be spent in Atlantic. We hope by doing this giveaway it will give the business community a boost and get shoppers out, going into businesses and seeing the importance of shopping local,” mentioned Smith.

Tickets can be purchased at the Chamber office, over the phone at 712-243-3017 or email chamber@atlanticiowa.com. For more information or to learn more about AtlantiCash, visit www.atlanticiowa.com.
