Verizon will debut a Small Business Webinar Series tomorrow, April

experts who will share practical advice, insight and tips on how
small businesses can survive during these unprecedented times.
The first event begins tomorrow at 2 p.m. EST and will feature
entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, best-selling author of “Profit
First,” and U.S. Small Business Association entrepreneur of the
year. Mike shares hands-on expertise in small business survival for
challenging times, from strategic planning and cash flow to taxes.
Mike talks live with our host, Ramon Ray, to offer specific steps
you can take now and how to be ready to grow after the crisis.

He created four companies (and sold two), is the founder of Smart

book is "Celebrity CEO."

small businesses, including:
- Feeding Frontline Healthcare Workers in NYC -
Verizon Business is supporting small business restaurants in NYC
and providing healthcare workers on the frontlines with 1,200 daily
meals at six hospitals across the city. The ordering and delivery
process is managed by Grubhub, which donated its service to help
this cause.
- Pay It Forward Live is Verizon’s weekly
streaming entertainment series in support of small businesses
affected by COVID-19. Over the course of Pay It Forward Live,
viewers are encouraged to do what they can to support local
businesses in their own communities by shopping online, making a
purchase in advance for when businesses reopen or ordering a meal.
Verizon will also donate $10, up to $2.5 million, to support small
businesses when the hashtag #PayitForwardLIVE is used. More
information, along with a link to apply for grants, can be

- $2.5 million Donation to Local Initiatives Support
Corporation’s (LISC) small business COVID-19 relief
efforts - More information, along with a link to apply for

- Verizon Up - Verizon is giving its customers
another way to support small businesses by leveraging its customer
loyalty program, Verizon Up, which will give members the
ability to use their monthly reward for a Visa eGift card to use to
support small businesses throughout April.
The funds from Pay it Forward Live are part of Verizon’s
combined $20 million donation to nonprofits directed at supporting
students and healthcare first responders, including No Kid Hungry,
the American Red Cross, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP)
COVID-19 Response Fund, Direct Relief, and the COVID-19 Solidarity
Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization (WHO)’s
