\nFrom a home inspection company to an ice cream shop, small businesses owners in Radcliff are showing the power of working together.<\/p>\n
More than 150 businesses are part of the Radcliff Small Business Alliance.<\/p>\n
The organization held its first fundraising gala this month to give back to the community. Matthew Smith, who owns 2 Vets Inspections and is the president of the alliance, said the gala raised a total of $40,000. <\/p>\n
Smith said local businesses bought tables, tickets, and participated in an auction to raise the money.<\/p>\n
Michelle Mitchell opened her Family Fun Ice Cream Parlor about seven years ago in Radcliff. <\/p>\n
She said the alliance provides opportunities for all different types of businesses to help each other and learn from one another, which is something she’s thankful for as a business owner.<\/p>\n
A chunk of the money from the gala is being turned into checks for organizations like Reaching Every Child, which received $10,000. The money will be used for the nonprofit’s new youth center opening soon off Lincoln Trail Blvd.<\/p>\n
Administrators with Reaching Every Child said because of events like this, they feel community partners are truly seeing their vision to provide a place for kids.<\/p>\n
Family Scholar House also received a check for $7,000 and Elizabethtown Community and Technical College received a check for $3,000 to go toward a business scholarship. <\/p>\n
Also with the funds raised, the Radcliff Small Business Alliance plans to host free quarterly seminars for people looking to open their own business in the community. It will be a place to ask questions, network, and learn from current business owners.
