The Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce knows their city needs funding to rebuild schools, churches and businesses. 


What better way to express that need than by hearing it from those that need it most.  They’re showcasing videos online, produced by Dark Lab Media, that share personal stories to show federal and state governments that they still need help. 

They’ve partnered with Cinnamon Shore, City of Port Aransas, Mustang Island Chamber of Commerce and the Tourism Bureau to create the “New Day Port A Fund”, established to assist hurricane victims with support and recovery.

“We built this idea of how to bring the right message to our agencies to DC as well as Texas.  We had to make sure this is from the heart and this isn’t scripted,” said Jeffrey Hentz, President of the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce.
