Akron business awards celebrate perseverance and growth
A business awards ceremony will celebrate Ohio small businesses that have not only survived, but have thrived over the past five years.
The Cascade Capital Business Growth Awards will recognize businesses that have grown in either employment or sales over since 2015. Businesses must be from the counties of Holmes, Ashland, Wayne, Portage, Stark, Medina, or Summit.
To be eligible, business sales must have grown by at least 100% or $5m. Alternatively, a business’s full-time employee base must have grown by at least 25%, or by 25 actual employees.
Cascade Capital says it is important to support local small businesses, as they contribute up to half of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and up to 50% of the jobs in the US. They also provide up to 65% of the country’s new jobs.
Also part of the event is the presentation of three special awards. The Huntington Legacy Award and the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award (now in its 13th year) and the Philanthropy in Business Award.
Sponsors at events such as these can turn to local print shops for professional programs and banner printing.
The Cascade Capital Business Growth Awards is scheduled to take place Thursday, October 1 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the John S. Knight Center, 77 East Mill Street in Akron.
