The Hartford, in partnership with NBC 7 San Diego, has launched
the Small Business Boost contest to recognize San Diego-area1 small
business owners making a positive impact in their local
communities. The Small Business Boost is part of The Hartford’s
Communities with HART program, which supports local communities by
helping small businesses grow and by inspiring new generations of
entrepreneurs.
“We are thrilled to invite members of the San Diego-area
communities to recognize their favorite small business for all that
they do to support their local neighborhoods,” said Diane Cantello,
vice president of corporate responsibility at The Hartford. “The
Hartford is passionate about helping small businesses prevail and
we deeply appreciate the role they play in contributing to the
vibrancy of local communities.”
The contest invites people to nominate their favorite small
business in the San Diego area by submitting a brief description on
the NBC 7 San Diego Facebook page as to why they believe their
nominee should win.
For consideration, the small businesses nominated must:
- Be physically located in the San Diego
area1;
- Hire locally;
- Provide a community benefit; and
- Have fewer than 100 employees.
The grand prize winner will receive a $2,500 cash reward and the
opportunity to meet with a small business expert. The nominator of
the winning business will receive $500.
Entries for the Small Business Boost contest can be submitted
via the NBC 7 San Diego Facebook page through Oct. 11, 2015. The
