If you ever wonder (or need a reminder) why we do what we do here at the Copley Chamber, just listen to Amanda, one of this year’s Questers:
“
Our family had such a fun time shopping on the Path to Presents this year! Our 4-year-old LOVED searching for Waddles at each location, and we found lots of amazing holiday gifts for our loved ones. Thank you for this opportunity to better get to know and support our local businesses, as well as start a new family holiday tradition!
Honestly? That says it all!
Because of YOU — our volunteers, our sponsors, our local businesses, our donors, our bidders, our Questers, and our Wrap Party crew — Path to Presents didn’t just happen. It created memories. It sparked new traditions. It brought neighbors through doors they’d never walked through before. It sprinkled a little Copley magic across an entire week.
And that kind of magic doesn’t happen alone, so we have some special thank-yous to shout out:
- Consumers National Bank, our Presenting Sponsor, whose support made every part of this week possible.
- Brighten Brewing Company, for the gracious use of their space and those delicious provisions, tying the perfect bow at the end of our Path.
- All Fired Up Akron, for preparing a practical platoon of penguins, ready to greet Questers with a friendly flipper at every stop!
- Every sponsor who believed in the Path.
- Every location that welcomed Questers with smiles.
- Every Quester who bundled up and checked in.
- Every donor who contributed an auction item.
- Every bidder who kept the excitement going.
- Every volunteer who called, coordinated, and delivered.
- Every Wrap Party guest who came out to celebrate with us.
Together, you all helped us raise $7,000 to support Chamber initiatives that strengthen local business connections all year long. Plus, a little bonus raffle fun-money is headed to the Copley Boys High School Soccer team and the Copley Middle School PTSA!
That’s more than a fundraising total — it’s an investment in our community.
And now… we’d love your thoughts as we look ahead to next year!
Regardless of which “you” you are, we want to hear what you loved, what we can improve, and what you’d like to see:
And be sure to mark your calendars for November 28–December 5, 2026… Waddles will be waiting!
With gratitude,
Allison Chrien, Executive Director
