What to expect as a business:

  • You will have access to your online Business Profile
  • From there, you will be able to upload a logo, website, brief company description as well as an optional video to upload

 

Why Businesses Participate

“I’ve been doing Math for Life from the beginning because:

  • It’s great fun!
  • It really helps the kids understand that ‘Math is a life skill – not just an academic subject.”
  • It’s GREAT for business: Many parents ‘discover’ Cabinets by Trivonna. They come back when they need a new Kitchen”

-Ross Irwin, Cabinets by Trivonna.
