When you spend your dollars locally you create a multiplier effect of 2-3 times in local economic impact. Multiple national studies show that on a per dollar basis local eateries return twice as much revenue to our local economy. Independent retailers return more than three times as much money compared to national chains. “Shop small, shop local” and direct some of your purchasing power to neighborhood businesses. You’ll help us launch ventures that keep your dollars local!

I pledge to spend the designated amount of money at a Launch Something Pulaski award winner and/or local businesses. I pledge to support my neighbors by buying local. From groceries and snacks, to lunch and dinner, appliances to cars, and haircuts to accounting, I’ll buy from my local businesses, my neighbors and friends because I know this supports our community.
