2 CHALLENGE
SHOP LOCAL
$
Show your support of LOCAL BUSINESSES
Spend $100 in $2 bills
For years, The Bulletin has encouraged everyone to
“Shop Local” during the holidays. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic
has dramatically impacted our local businesses,
so supporting them is more important than ever.
Local businesses, large and small, need our patronage to survive in the coming months.
While it may seem easier and safer to shop online these days, money spent online leaves
this community forever. Money spent locally tends to stay local, keeping businesses open,
funding local charities and keeping local people employed.
There are more than 200,000 residents in Central Oregon. If just 10,000 residents each committed
to spending $100 locally — instead of shopping online, that would mean $1 million injected into
the local economy, which would help local business owners weather the current economic storms.
Studies show that each dollar spent locally turns over 4 times … $1 million turns into $4 million as
it works its way through the hands of local residents.
OUR CHALLENGE TO YOU
Spend an extra $100 locally this holiday season, instead of spending it online.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
1. Head to one of the local banks listed below,
and ask them to convert your $100 into $2 bills.
2. Use your $2 bills to show local businesses you care.
3. Email us at 2dollarchallenge@bendbulletin.com to
let us know how you spent your $100 worth of
$2 bills, and get entered into a drawing to win a $100
gift certifi cate to the local business of your choice!
