Mayor Randall L. Woodfin joined representatives from Mastercard and the Birmingham Business Resource Center (BBRC) to announce a new campaign to support local Black-owned businesses during this year’s World Games. Mayor Woodfin was also joined by LaToya Jolly of “Jolly Cakes,” a local Black-owned business participating in the campaign.
From July 7 to July 17, Mastercard will offer cardholders 20% cash back each time they use their Mastercard to spend $20 or more at participating businesses in Birmingham. A list of the participating businesses and more details are available at Mastercard.com/Birmingham.
