As a Neighborhood Champion, you can play a critical role in helping your local community participate in Small Business Saturday. Celebrated on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the day helps raise awareness and support for the small businesses that support and enrich communities nationwide.

Become a Neighborhood Champion in Your Area

Sign up to become a Neighborhood Champion and get your community excited to participate in Small Business Saturday by planning events and activities for the day. In 2015, over 4,100 individuals and local business organizations rallied their neighborhoods by:

  *   Organizing local events to help their communities celebrate small businesses on the day (e.g., neighborhood kickoff breakfasts, street fairs, shopping shuttles & games, main street parades and more)
  *   Rallying small businesses to participate on the day with signage and activities, and encouraging neighbors to go out and Shop Small®

As a Neighborhood Champion, you will receive monthly planning resources to support your event as well as a Small Business Saturday Event Kit* containing Shop Small merchandise (including shopping bags, balloons and other promotional items) to share with small businesses and your  community.
