FOCC Honorary Mayor(s)

Established in 1979 by the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce, this initiative was born out of the unique status of Fair Oaks as part of the Unincorporated area of Sacramento County, where a Mayor is not in place. The chamber envisioned this campaign as the next best solution, aiming to promote Fair Oaks businesses while generating funds for both the chamber and the community. The Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce Honorary Mayor Campaign is a non-political event, where the winner is determined by the candidate who raises the most money over a four-month period. Each dollar raised counts as one vote.

The proceeds collected from each candidate will be split 50/50 between the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce and a charity of the candidate’s choosing, subject to approval by the FOCC Board of Directors. The winner will be unveiled in October 2025. Throughout its 46-year history, this event has garnered a total of $562,306.95, with half of that amount reinvested back into the Fair Oaks community.
