We are sooo proud and honored to announce that Hawai`i Doggie Bakery has been chosen as an American Small Business Champion by SCORE and Sam’s Club!
We were a last minute entry, and we stayed up late into the night filming & editing our video entry just to make it in by the deadline. After we got our entry in, it was a race to get as many votes as possible! We want to thank everyone who voted for us (especially those who voted multiple times!). We ended with over 11,000 votes, and although voting was not the entire judging criteria, we know that we made a strong showing in that category thanks to all of you!!!
The American Small Business Championship (championship.score.org) awarded the title to 102 small businesses, two in every state and the District of Columbia, for their sacrifices and dedication to the success of their business. The American Small Business Champions each received a $1,000 Sam’s Club gift card, an all-expense-paid trip to a training event, SCORE mentoring for one year, and promotion throughout the year to showcase each Champion’s story.
We are looking forward to attending our region’s SCORE training event at the end of March in Pheonix, working with our SCORE mentor to take our business to the next level and using our $1,000 Gift card from Sam’s Club!
