A Night with Our Stars is the Evergreen Chamber’s premier annual business awards gala, celebrating the people and organizations who keep our mountain community thriving.
This community-driven event honors standout businesses and leaders across five award categories, with winners determined by community voting. It’s not just an awards ceremony. It’s an evening that recognizes the entrepreneurs, innovators, nonprofits, and changemakers who shape Evergreen’s local economy and character every day.
The evening begins with a lively networking and cocktail hour followed by one of the most anticipated traditions of the night: our Dessert Auction. A dozen local bakeries and creators build stunning specialty desserts, each one a decadent showpiece. This year, guests can place silent bids while viewing the displays, then the excitement builds as the auction transitions live.
Proceeds from the Dessert Auction benefit Bootstraps, our valued partner dedicated to building scholarships for mountain-area high school students. These scholarships help local students pursue their dreams, whether through four-year degrees, technical programs, or other forms of post-secondary education. Every bid directly supports the next generation of leaders in our community.
Whether you are attending to support a nominee, connect with fellow professionals, or simply enjoy an inspiring evening out, A Night with Our Stars is a chance to reflect on the strength of our local business community and the people behind it.
Dress up, show up, and be part of the celebration! Learn more about this year's finalists below:
