Hawaii’s BBB invites entries for 2010 Torch Awards

The Better Business Bureau Torch Awards program promotes trust in the marketplace and recognizes local businesses and charities for their outstanding commitment to fair, honest and ethical practices. In 2010, Hawaii’s BBB Torch Awards celebrate businesses applying BBB Standards for Trust in their operations and public charities with policies included in BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability.

Along with the trophy that symbolizes trust, BBB Torch Awards finalists and winners receive valuable publicity and community recognition. All finalists are featured in Hawaii’s BBB newsletter and web site, related media announcements and the printed program and videos presented at the awards event. Winners and finalists can also use the BBB Torch Award honors in their advertising, marketing and collateral material.

The BBB Torch Awards are open to all Hawaii businesses and 501(c)(3) public charities. Details and entry guides are available on Hawaii’s BBB web site. The deadline for entries is Feb. 26.
