HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce has come up with a way to support public health in Reno County while earning money for your business.
The Kansas Leadership Center has funded a grant project in Hutchinson that is being administered by a sub-group of the Visit Hutch Tourism Coalition. The initiative, called "Caught in the Act Hutch," is looking for businesses to participate.
This $3,000 grant will be used to purchase $100 gift cards from participating host businesses and other smaller $10 gift cards from local businesses to reward people through an online contest who are caught in the act of practicing good public health practices, in particular wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining social distancing.
A business will need to participate in 16 weeks of the project by agreeing to post signage at the business about the project, make sure employees are knowledgeable about the project, encourage those caught in the act to register for prizes and, if possible, assist with publicity through sharing campaign information via media and other marketing avenues.
The Chamber asks that if your business is interested in participating as a host business or wants more information about the project, please email [email protected] or contact Charles Johnston at 646-628-4353 for more information.
