LAS VEGAS– America First Credit Union is partnering with the Las Vegas Raiders to help one deserving small business thrive. The credit union and the Raiders are giving small businesses in Nevada and Utah the chance to secure a single-season sponsorship agreement valued at approximately $100,000.
As part of the Small Business Showcase, America First reported the winner will receive signage inside the Raiders’ home, Allegiant Stadium, radio spots, digital promotions on the Raiders’ website and mobile app, tickets to a home game, and more.
“Small businesses are the lifeblood of the community,” said AFCU president and CEO, John B. Lund. “Many mom-and-pop shops have been rocked by the pandemic. They deserve to be highlighted now more than ever. AFCU is honored to team up with the Las Vegas Raiders to recognize the contributions of small businesses through this innovative, entrepreneurial-themed program.”
The contest is open to Nevada and Utah-based for-profit small businesses with an annual revenue of less than $10 million. Additional information can be found at www.americafirst.com/raiders.
Businesses will be evaluated on how they represent their city, how they currently give back to the community, and how this opportunity will assist in the successful execution of their business plans.
Backup Play Called
The credit union further noted that if COVID-19 limitations and operational protocols provide, finalists will be invited to showcase their businesses at a private event held at Allegiant Stadium for final consideration.
“Many members of Raider Nation operate small business and we are grateful for their entrepreneurship,” said Raiders President Marc Badain. “The showcase will not only support a winner but will also bring focus to the importance of small businesses in Nevada & Utah.”
