This year marks a significant milestone for Oro Valley as the community celebrates its 50th anniversary with a campaign designed to spotlight the rich tapestry of local commerce that has grown over five decades. The Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce is spearheading the Oro Valley 50th Anniversary Shopping Campaign and Raffle, a year-long event aimed to not only commemorate the town’s vibrant business ecosystem but also to foster an environment of support and discovery within the local economy. Residents are invited to partake in this festive celebration of community and commerce, exploring both new ventures and time-honored establishments that contribute to Oro Valley’s unique charm.

The campaign cleverly intertwines the act of shopping with the thrill of winning through a structured raffle system. Attendees have the opportunity to win one of over 50 prizes generously donated by local businesses. The initiative is set to encourage residents to rediscover their community by frequenting participating businesses, thereby reinforcing the bonds between Oro Valley’s entrepreneurs and the community at large. A grand raffle, offering winners extravagant prizes such as a stay at El Conquistador Tucson, tickets to Tohono Chul Gardens, and gift cards to local eateries and shops, highlights the campaign, enhancing the appeal of participation and promising to make the 50th anniversary a memorable celebration of local spirit and enterprise.

Engaging in the Oro Valley 50th Anniversary Shopping Campaign and Raffle is as straightforward as it is rewarding. Shoppers are invited to visit a rotating roster of featured businesses every two weeks, where they can immerain themselves in the best of local offerings. Participation is easy: simply visit any of the spotlighted businesses, revel in the discovery of products and services, and enter the in-store raffle to stand a chance to win. With no limit to the number of visits or entries, supporters can explore a variety of locales, boosting their odds of winning while actively contributing to the sustainability of local businesses.

The initiative is designed with community engagement at its heart. By encouraging repeated visitations with a fortnightly spotlight on different businesses, the campaign ensures that throughout the year, the excitement around local commerce remains ignited. As participants look forward to discovering new businesses or revisiting their favorites, the campaign fosters a sense of community pride and camaraderie. Moreover, with the allure of winning unique prizes from each featured business or securing the grand prize bundle, the Oro Valley 50th Anniversary Shopping Campaign and Raffle promises to be a highlight of the year, celebrating half a century of community resilience, growth, and shared success.
