SUPPORT AN EMERGING BUSINESS AND HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN 2 SUPER BOWL TICKETS!

The NFL Emerging Business Program:

The Emerging Business Program is a business development program designed to prepare minority and women owned business for opportunities associated with the Super Bowl and beyond.

The Emerging Business Challenge allows Emerging Businesses to leverage the excitement of the Super Bowl. Any client of an Emerging Business that resides in Indiana and spends over $500 is eligible to participate in a drawing to win two tickets to Super Bowl XLVI.

To participate in the NFL's Emerging Business Challenge, Emerging Businesses must enter their clients in the drawing by submitting paid invoices between October 15, 2011 and January 21, 2012. All sweepstake entries must be received by January 26, 2012.

Emerging Businesses have an official logo as part of the program designating their status as a member of the NFL Emerging Business Program and the Emerging Business Resource Guide. For more details about the program and complete contest rules, please click here.

The NFL has worked with the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host committee, civic groups, government and approved certification agencies to create a database of local minority and women-owned businesses screened and compiled into an online Business Resource Guide. This resource is available to all NFL-affiliated contractors, sponsors and Super Bowl related groups.
