HAGERSTOWN – The Chamber Foundation of Washington County is hosting its inaugural “Chamber Foundation Legacy Fundraiser” on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Washington County Agricultural Education Center.
Proceeds from the 3 to 10 p.m. event benefit the Washington County Public Schools Apprenticeship Program, by supporting businesses that are mentoring youth apprentices.
During the event, guests will enjoy a dinner prepared by WCPS culinary students, a trivia contest and a cornhole tournament. Guests can purchase chances to win student-created raffle prizes.

There will be a short program during the event, highlighting the importance of preparing students for future careers through apprenticeships.
