Verizon’s ‘Give and Give Back’ Campaign Rewards Small-Business Customers, Nonprofits

Sweepstakes Will Award $5,000 to a Verizon Small Biz Rewards Member and Another $5,000 to Winner’s Favorite Charity


New York, NY – WEBWIRE

Small businesses enrolled in Verizon’s Small Biz Rewards loyalty program have a chance to help themselves and their favorite charity in the company’s Give and Give Back Holiday Sweepstakes.

From now until Dec. 31, Verizon’s small-business customers can visit the Small Biz Rewards website to join the program for free and enter the sweepstakes, which will award a grand-prize winner $5,000* on a reloadable Prepaid MasterCard. In the spirit of the holidays, Verizon will also make a $5,000 contribution to the charity of the winner’s choice, which must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Additionally, after they enter the sweepstakes Small Biz Rewards members can click to support one of three charities: Juvenile Diabetes Research, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Verizon will donate a total of $15,000 to these three nonprofits; the amount of the individual awards will be in proportion to the number of times each charity is selected by a Small Biz Rewards member.   

Verizon’s Small Biz Rewards members also can make a personal donation. Support for Verizon’s Give and Give Back Holiday Sweepstakes can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+ by using #VZSmallBizRewards. 

“Small businesses give a lot to their customers and their communities, and Verizon is kicking off the holiday season by highlighting our own small-business customers and several outstanding nonprofits,” said Jane McCarthy, senior account manager of Small Biz Rewards at Verizon. “We are always looking to provide our customers with the best network and services to help them successfully run their business.”

Verizon recently provided its FiOS Internet small-business customers with a free upgrade to SpeedMatch, which provides matching upload and download speeds.
