Here at RALtoday, you may already know we’re big on celebrating local, especially our city’s small businesses, which is why a week dedicated to highlighting the heart of our communities is right up our alley.

Enter: Small Business Week — a national initiative acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of small businesses — that we’ll be celebrating Sunday, May 4 to Saturday, May 10.

We want to join in on the celebrations by highlighting some of the best small businesses in our city, and offer a little something special for our readers, too.

This is where we need your help.

If you own a local small business or know someone who does, celebrate Small Business Week with us by filling out a form about your business. We’ll be selecting businesses to feature in our newsletter throughout the week.

Bonus: As an optional choice, you can offer a fun deal or discount, a limited-edition menu item, or host a special event during the week for our readers to enjoy.

Complete the form by Sunday, March 16 and we’ll include it in our interactive map and coverage for Small Business Week powered by Sponsor. Psst: There’s no charge to participate.
