GIRARD, Ohio – Huntington National Bank and Valley Partners are teaming up to host Seeds for Growth, a small business dinner for entrepreneurs in the Mahoning Valley.
The free event, which will include a vendor marketplace, live entertainment and giveaways, is designed to connect underresourced small businesses to capital and build trust and transparency with Huntington bankers.
The dinner will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Provence Mills Event Center, 1300 N. State St. Doors will open at 3 p.m.
Owners of both startup and growth-stage businesses are encouraged to attend and engage with experts in a “More Money, No Problems!” chat and panel discussion.
“Helping businesses thrive is a key aspect to our mission at Huntington,” said Sam Huston, market president for Huntington Bank. “These Seeds for Growth events are an integral way to empower small business owners for each stage of a company’s lifecycle, and through their success, communities become stronger.”
