Fifth Third Kicks Off Inaugural ‘Love, Fifth Third’ Small Business Appreciation Campaign

Bank employees to enter favorite local companies in sweepstakes for $53,000 grants

Small businesses across Fifth Third’s footprint are going to feel the love leading up to and during the Thanksgiving shopping weekend. Until Nov. 27, Fifth Third employees have the chance to enter their favorite local small business in a sweepstakes to win one of three $53,000 grants. Fifth Third wants to help these businesses thrive and drive sustainable economic growth for their local community.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231115960771/en/

"Small businesses are the backbone of the communities where we live, work and play,” said Melissa Stevens, Fifth Third’s chief marketing officer. "We want to recognize their contributions, and this gives our dedicated employees the chance to show their favorite small business some Fifth Third love."

Employees are encouraged to visit nearby small businesses, swap in pens, snap photos and share their experience on social media. Visit Fifth Third’s X, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn to see the entries or follow #love53.

Any Fifth Third employee in an area with retail branches can participate in the sweepstakes process. Fifth Third has long been committed to investing in small businesses, with a focus on partnering directly with individuals in those communities to achieve their plans. Notably, Fifth Third’s Empowering Black Futures program invested $180 million into nine low-to-moderate income neighborhoods to drive transformation at the local level.

For this inaugural “Love, Fifth Third” program, Fifth Third defines small businesses as those with 100 or fewer employees, and $1 million or less in annual revenue. The business must be locally owned and operated and provide goods or services to the local community.

Once the sweepstakes entry period concludes, Fifth Third will randomly select three entries to receive $53,000 grants. The businesses will be notified in December. 1
