Chamber Bucks
Chamber Bucks are now available for purchase and use throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area. Chamber Bucks are gift checks available in denominations of $5, $10, $20 or $25 and redeemable at hundreds of participating Chamber member stores, restaurants, and attractions.
Valid for up to one year, Chamber Bucks may be purchased at any office of the Brainerd Lakes Area Chambers of Commerce . Since Chamber Bucks are redeemable at a wide variety of merchants, it's an ideal gift for hard-to-buy for people, as well as for graduation gifts, employee incentives and bonuses.
Businesses must enroll to accept Chamber Bucks. There is no cost to participate and Bucks are easily processed with your daily bank deposit.

 Manufacturing Scholarships
Through the Brainerd Lakes Chambers of Commerce Central Minnesota Manufacturing Alliance committee, a scholarship fund has been established to recruit students in the manufacturing trades at Central Lakes College programs: Mechanical Drafting, Robotics, Welding, Machine Trades, and Pre-Engineering. Our goal is that graduates of these programs will remain and become gainfully employed in our community. The annual goal is $10,000 with half going to an endowment fund, to be invested with the earnings being awarded in the form of a scholarship, and the other half to immediately provide several $500 annual scholarships.
