DGAP-News: Comcast Oregon / SW Washington
Comcast Business today announced that an additional 14 small businesses owned by women and people of color in Oregon/SW Washington are recipients of a Comcast RISE award. The awards will allow these businesses to receive customized technology upgrades from Comcast Business based on their specific needs, or consulting, media and creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable. More than 50 small businesses in Oregon/SW Washington have already received Comcast RISE awards. Comcast RISE, which stands for “Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment,” is a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative launched in 2020 to help small businesses owned by women and people of color which were hard hit by COVID-19. Applications for the next round of awards closes on October 16, 2022. Apply at www.ComcastRISE.com. “Receiving this Comcast RISE award is a huge help for me,” says Natasha Busse, owner of Dogville Playcare, a doggy daycare business with two sites in SW Portland. Busse will be receiving a technology makeover and is eagerly awaiting the new computers and tablets and other Comcast Business services. “You can’t keep track of almost 100 dogs a day without technology to track information like vaccine records, and of course, I use the internet for my clients’ humans to make reservations to come play here.” Busse explains that while the doggy daycare market grew during the pandemic because many people got pets, keeping her employees has been a challenge. “I needed to change my growth strategy so that I could compete for staff with wages.” “Fueling the success of small businesses is what drives us,” said Rikki Wright, director of Sales and Marketing for Comcast Business Oregon/SW Washington. “We partner with businesses like Dogville to understand their needs and how we can help them grow. Their success is our success.” She added, “It’s also the right thing to do.” Comcast RISE recipients in this round of awards are:
