Hermosa Beach Chamber Foundation

In an effort to continue to produce treasured community events that largely benefit the South Bay community, the Board of Directors of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce voted to form a new community foundation in 2021 to fundraise, plan, and produce treasured community traditions like the St. Patrick's Day Parade and Hermosa for the Holidays.

Our Mission: To provide community-building events, activities, and services to the City of Hermosa Beach that cultivate a sense of community, tradition, and goodwill.

$500 - fully funds the participation of a nonprofit in the parade

We also welcome contributions in other amounts. We are grateful for your support!
