The Super Bowl XL Host Committee says its emerging-business program
generated $10.1 million in spending through 300 contracts — the most in
the program’s history.
According to the story:
Local minority- and woman-owned businesses benefited from training and
networking to help them compete for contracts with the host committee,
the NFL, corporate sponsors and event coordinators.
In
addition, the host committee report said that more than $2 million is
expected to be donated to nonprofits in the tri-county area from
sanctioned charity events.
