The Children’s Guardian Fund was one of the finalists for the 2022 Manatee Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year award in the non-profit category. This program recognizes small businesses and non-profit organizations for “quality and excellence,” as demonstrated by growth, productivity, job creation, customer service, and overall contribution to the community. The Manatee community is full of non-profit organizations that work tirelessly to improve the quality of life. We were honored to be one of the finalists this year, among the many other worthy causes.
