OAK RIDGE, Tenn. ORNL FCU said it is promoting local businesses this month with a Cash Mob campaign.
“At ORNL Federal Credit Union, we believe that small business counts,” said Chris Johnson, president of the $1.5 billion credit union. “The concept of a cash mob is one that fits perfectly with our core value of community improvement. There are few better ways to build a community than through the support and advocacy of small business, and I hope this program will encourage people to share in our commitment to the well-being of these merchants and communities.”
The credit union’s grassroots program, Small Business Counts, is designed to help local merchants in the 16 East Tennessee communities that it serves through the use of promotion, social networking, and even direct financial support. The Cash mob will include the promotion and support of two East Tennessee businesses each month beginning in July.
The locations and meeting dates will be announced one week in advance of each event and have not yet been determined.
