Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is launching its fourth annual SIUE Day, a fund-raising initiative aimed at providing a convenient opportunity for members of the community and University employees to help support the institution's efforts.
SIUE Day will host a hot breakfast sponsored by M5 Sports and 62 Sports Group on Friday, October 16 in the SIUE Meridian Ballroom. The breakfast will include a short morning seminar that will highlight a panel of SIUE faculty and staff who will share where they shop locally and why. Attendees will also hear from the SIUE purchasing department on how to become an SIUE vendor.
In 2006 the Ed/Glen Chamber of Commerce adopted SIUE Day on as one of its community events. This year's SIUE Day Chair is Matt McSparin owner of M5Sports and first vice president of Ed/Glen Chamber. More than 160 Ed/Glen Chamber members attended the breakfast last year (this is a number we anticipate to grow each year).
Local businesses can expect to receive a call or visit from one of their fellow chamber members prior to the breakfast.
We will be hosting a series of SIUE Day kick off events prior to the October breakfast. Mark your calendar and plan to attend:
