The Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce will honor 13 non-profit groups at its annual Industry Awards on Thursday at the Long Beach Hyatt Hotel.

Salvation Army/KROC Center will receive the Destination Tomorrow Award at the event, which boasts more than 750 attendees, the largest attendance for the annual event, said Chamber President and CEO Randy Gordon.

"We're pretty proud of this in this tough economy because we've got 750 people coming," he said.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe will serve as master of Ceremonies and Joe Magaddino, chair of Cal State Long Beach's Department of Economics, will discuss the economic impact of Long Beach's non-profit sector. For more info, call Sarah Nguyen at 562-432-7830.
