Get your nomination in for Fox Valley Entrepreneurship Center's 'Elevate 2017'
The Fox Valley Entrepreneurship Center will host its second annual "Elevate 2017" event on Friday, Oct. 20.
This year's event will again be held at the St. Charles Country Club, 1250 Country Club Road, St. Charles.
Tickets will be $125 per person.
Funds raised from the "Elevate 2017" event will enable the center to connect more local struggling businesses with growth opportunities to get their biggest dreams off the ground.
What makes this event so important to this business community is how the Fox Valley Entrepreneurship Center aspires to recognize the top three businesses that have demonstrated amazing success by stimulating growth, both economically and socially, within their own community. The event also promises to present a local business owner and leader in the community as the keynote speaker and to offer some amazing auction items that will entice all to participate.
Three award categories will be presented that night:
• Entrepreneur of the Year for the company who has achieved exponential growth and success, particularly with the creation of local jobs in the community;
• Community Business of the Year for the company who has shown tremendous commitment to the Fox Valley; and
• Innovator of the Year for the company or individual who has used innovation in their business to achieve growth and success.
Nominations are open to all. Nominate an individual or company online at www.fvec.org/nominations.
Entries are due Friday, Sept. 15.
