The recognition is a collaboration between PNC Bank and the Fort Wayne TinCaps, designed to elevate small businesses across northeast Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its fourth year, Going to Bat for Small Business recognizes businesses with strong growth, community impact, and future potential, providing a platform to boost visibility through a comprehensive marketing package during the TinCaps season. Since launching in 2023, the initiative has spotlighted a growing roster of impactful local businesses, including Kanela Coffee and Standing Ovation (2023), TCB Games and Gough Legal (2024), and Hunsche CPA Group and Truck Maintenance (2025).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall businesses are the backbone of our economy,\u201d said Corinna Ladd, PNC regional president for northern Indiana. \u201cAt PNC, we often say the best businesses are \u2018boring\u2019 &#8211; built on consistency, discipline, and long-term growth. That\u2019s exactly what drives lasting success, and it\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to champion entrepreneurs across northeast Indiana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Copper Spoon will be honored during a pregame ceremony on June 3, and Three Rivers Electric on August 6 at Parkview Field. Each winner receives a marketing package through the TinCaps platforms valued at more than $10,000, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A WPTA-TV \u201cLocal Business Spotlight\u201d feature and 21Alive.com coverage<\/li>\n<li>In-game recognition, radio and TV mentions<\/li>\n<li>A luxury suite experience at Parkview Field<\/li>\n<li>Digital advertising and in-stadium promotion<\/li>\n<li>Social media amplification and fan engagement opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cFort Wayne\u2019s small businesses are more than storefronts &#8211; they are anchors of our community, creating jobs, fostering innovation and helping define the culture of our city. This impact reaches far beyond the economy,\u201d said Dr. Andrea Robinson, Economic Development Administrator, City of Fort Wayne Community Development Division. \u201cThe Going to Bat for Small Business initiative celebrates entrepreneurs who continue to invest in Fort Wayne to help our city thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Small businesses employ nearly half of the U.S. workforce and create two-thirds of net new jobs, underscoring their critical role in driving economic growth and community vitality. In Fort Wayne, that impact is deeply local &#8211; powering neighborhoods, energizing downtown, and shaping the region\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall businesses are the character of our community,\u201d added Mike Nutter, TinCaps President. \u201cThink about your favorite shop or restaurant, it\u2019s most likely a small business unique to northeast Indiana. We\u2019re proud to partner with PNC to recognize the small businesses that play an integral role in our community and make Fort Wayne a vibrant place to live, work and play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Winners were selected through a blind judging process from dozens of applicants, evaluated on growth, community impact, employee focus, and future potential. The judging panel included representatives from Greater Fort Wayne Inc., the City of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne Black Chamber, Fort Wayne Hispanic Chamber, Better Business Bureau, WBOI, and Fort Wayne Newspapers, among others.<\/p>\n<p>This marks PNC\u2019s 23rd consecutive season supporting the TinCaps and reflects the bank\u2019s broader commitment to local business success. Since 2020, the Going to Bat for Small Business initiative has expanded to multiple markets \u2013 including collaboration with MLB and MiLB teams \u2013 helping drive visibility and growth for local entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrograms like this are about more than recognition \u2013 they create opportunity,\u201d Ladd added. \u201cWhen small businesses succeed, our entire community succeeds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/fort-wayne\/fans\/pnc-small-business\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About PNC Bank<\/strong><br \/>\nPNC Bank, National Association, is a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
