Proceeds from the raffle help support Local First’s work to offer resources and funding to our local, independent business community as we continue to weather the economic uncertainty of this year.

We’re bummed we can’t meet in person this year, but we figure the next best thing is to “share” a meal together from a local restaurant! 

All registrants will receive $10 off their lunch from 2nd Street Deli – you can pick up your meal to enjoy with us during the Local Celebration, or save it for another day! Either way, we hope we run into some of you along the way.

We are beyond excited to welcome Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, for a keynote address at this year’s Local Celebration!

Known for her unapologetic stance against corporate monopolies, Stacy has been one of local businesses’ strongest advocates in Washington. As an advisor to policymakers and grassroots organizations, Mitchell has developed and helped enact city, state, and federal policies that level the playing field for independent businesses, curb corporate power, and strengthen communities.

Join us to hear how the pandemic has impacted local business nation-wide, and what that means for our corner of Colorado.

Thank you for submitting your nominations to highlight your favorite local champions! We will be announcing the winners for the following categories during the event.

LEMONADE MAKER

A business who has creatively weathered the unforeseen challenges of pandemic – taking a bad situation and turning it into lemonade.

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT
