Submitted by: The Chrysalis Inn & Spa
The Whatcom Dream was the recipient of The Chrysalis Inn & Spa’s January spa donation in the amount of $2,100. This celebrates one year of giving over $23,000 to local non-profits that began as a way for owner Mike Keenan to donate anticipated corporate tax cuts to those most in need in his own community.
The Whatcom Dream, who has been providing financial literacy and life skills curriculum throughout Whatcom County since 1999, has a mission to create poverty-reducing pathways for residents to discover their dreams and achieve their full potential.
The Chrysalis, a locally owned hotel, spa & restaurant on Fairhaven’s waterfront, has been giving one percent of monthly spa revenues to a local non-profit since February of 2017 and will continue to do so through 2018.
February’s donation recipient will be Growing Alliances, an organization dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through vocational opportunities in urban agriculture.
