SitemapThe Better Business Bureau serving
Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull Counties will honor four businesses, one
nonprofit organization and a community leader June 15 at its Torch Awards for
Marketplace Trust.
The luncheon event, to be held at The Lake Club in Poland,
celebrates BBB accredited businesses and leaders that exemplify BBB standards
for trust. It’s made possible by the BBB TrustBuilders, a group of banking
institutions “with long-term commitments to earn and keep the trust of the
public,” says Carol Potter, BBB CEO. The BBB will present Torch Awards to Butech Bliss, Rulli
Brothers, Wm. Price Heating Company Inc. and CKC Cleaning Specialist. The
Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. will receive the award for nonprofit
excellence. The award for civic leadership will be presented to Suzanne
Fleming. The BBB TrustBuilders include Cortland Bank, PNC Bank,
Farmers National Bank, Huntington Bank, Home Savings Bank and Chemical Bank. Potter describes the TrustBuilders as “dedicated to the
growth and vitality of the Valley. These banks make the loans that help small
businesses and individuals achieve economic success and financial security.
They invest in trust building and strengthen our community through civic
involvement, volunteerism, financial education and sound operating principles. The awards event will be hosted by Scott Schulick, recipient
of the 2015 Torch Award for Civic Leadership. BBB also will award high school
students with the Ethics & Integrity Scholarships sponsored by Sweeney Auto
Group and Farmers Trust Co. The luncheon begins at 11:30. For table or ticket
