BOSTON, MA, Oct 01, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —
Boston Region Entrepreneurship Week (BREW) announced today that it
will host the BREW Spotlight Fundraiser on October 15 at Cummings
Properties TradeCenter 128 in Woburn. This event will be the official
start of the 2012 celebration which is taking place during the weeks
of October 15 – October 26. Constant Contact, a leader in engagement
marketing, is sponsoring the BREW Spotlight Fundraiser event and will
be presenting a session on engagement marketing, followed by a panel
of local experts answering audience questions about growing and
building a business.
“We are also thrilled to announce a partnership with LevelUp to
support the BREW Spotlight initiative. LevelUp users can elect to
donate directly to BREW using the free LevelUp app that enables users
to pay with their phone at 3,500 local businesses,” said Christine
Sierra, Executive Director of BREW.
The BREW Spotlight is a program aimed at educating the community on
the valuable resources available to entrepreneurs through three
non-profit organizations in Massachusetts. This year’s highlighted
non-profits include Interise.org, Merrimack Valley Sandbox Initiative
and NFTE.org. These organizations are helping to launch, support and
educate current and future entrepreneurs on starting and running a
business.
“We are launching the BREW Spotlight to give back to the
organizations that are helping Massachusetts to support its
entrepreneur community,” continued Sierra. “During two weeks in
October, people can attend and participate in events such as
educational workshops, expert panel discussions and networking
events. We accept submissions right through the BREW celebration and
encourage the community to get involved.”
