"Cohase Cash" refers to our intention for the winnings to be spent at businesses who belong to the Cohase Chamber of Commerce. The winnings can be spent at any current member Chamber businesses. The winner will need to notify the Chamber of where they would like to spend their winnings. The Chamber will then supply the winner with gift card(s)/certificate(s) from the business(es) and/or provide an account credit for the individual at the designated business(es). Winners may choose to split the winnings among as many as many as four businesses or simply choose to redeem it at one business.

How do I verify if a business is a member of the Chamber?
You must verify that the Chamber is a member by going to our WEB site at www.cohase.org and clicking the Business Directory menu item at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can go directly to the member listing page at our WEB site by clicking here.
The listing is continually updated as new members join. Members will not be removed from the listing after the start of the contest. Please note that businesses who were previously members do not qualify and the display of the Cohase Chamber sticker/cling at a business location does not guaranty the business is a current member in good standing.
