Hamilton Gives 2026

Give back. Celebrate big. End the year on a high note.

Hamilton Gives is Hamilton’s premier Giving Tuesday event — and our biggest holiday celebration of the year.

Join the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, United Way Golden Horseshoe, McKeil Family Foundation and Hamilton’s business and community leaders for an evening dedicated to giving back, celebrating generosity and making an impact right here at home.

Since launching in 2024, Hamilton Gives has raised nearly $60,000 for local charities, with a goal of reaching $100,000 this year. Every ticket, every donation and every contribution helps us get there.

But Hamilton Gives isn’t just about giving — it’s about celebrating the people who make our community stronger. Throughout the evening, we’ll recognize individuals, businesses and organizations who are going above and beyond to give back and build community.

Come raise a glass, make some connections, celebrate Hamilton’s generous spirit and help us make this year’s Giving Tuesday our biggest one yet.

This is not a seated dinner. Expect delicious food stations and passed hors d’oeuvres, plenty of opportunities to mix and mingle, and a dance floor waiting for you. Cocktail attire. Dancing shoes encouraged.

Come for the celebration. Stay for the giving. Leave knowing you helped make a difference.

Nominate an individual or business before the Oct. 22 deadline: https://hcc.awardify.io/
