The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce in Omaha, Nebraska.〔("History" ), Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce. Retrieved 8/22/08.〕 When United States Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke spoke to the Chamber in 2007, his comments were noted for his continued endorsement of globalization.〔Kirchhoff, S. (2/7/07) ("Bernanke: Fixing income gap will take education" ), ''USA Today''. Retrieved 1/11/09.〕 In January 2014, the chamber made headlines for organizing a charity effort tied to Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. According to an article by ''TIME'', the chamber partnered with several Nebraska-based businesses that agreed to collectively donate $800 every time Manning said "Omaha" during the AFC Championship football game on January 19, 2014, against the New England Patriots. Manning is known for yelling the city's name at the line of scrimmage prior to plays. According to the article, the money raised—$24,800, since the quarterback said Omaha 31 times—will go to Manning’s charity, the Peyback Foundation. == See also == * History of Omaha * Historic companies in Omaha, Nebraska * Economy of Omaha, Nebraska 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
