Home - Greater Cayce West Columbia Chamber of Commerce

The Greater CWC Chamber and Visitor Programs office will be closed on Monday, September 1 in observance of Labor Day. The office will reopen on Tuesday, September 2 at 9:00 am.

August was a big month at the Greater Cayce-West Columbia Chamber!

We wrapped up the summer with two incredible events:

The Business Expo & Un-Gala was a night full of energy, networking, and celebration. Congratulations to our 2025 award honorees:

Small Business of the Year: Stone River
Large Business of the Year: BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina
Volunteers of the Year: Joanne Brady & Katie Moore
Greater CWC Spirit Award: Thomas Tafel
Citizen of the Year: Tod Augsburger

Our August Business Breakfast brought meaningful conversations with Sheriff Leon Lott, who shared insight into business corridor safety, community partnerships, and how law enforcement and business leaders can work hand-in-hand.

A special moment of the morning was the presentation of the Setting the Barr Award, honoring Corporal Roy “Drew” Barr (EOW April 24, 2022). This quarter’s recipient, Alan Ware, K9 Specialist, was recognized for his dedication and service in protecting our communities.

A huge thank you to Beckett Financial Group for sponsoring this month’s breakfast, and to everyone who joined us for an impactful start to the day.

Join us in September for several opportunities to learn, connect, and grow!

Sept 2 – Radio Talk Show with Gia Kondakor (McAlister-Smith Funeral Home) & Paige Kelso (CVETS)
Sept 4 – Learn Local with Ashley Hunter: Communications During a Crisis for Business Leaders
