Power the Comeback - How can my business/workplace get involved?
The state of Colorado is asking businesses to help Power the Comeback this summer by supporting employees who want to be vaccinated and promoting policies for COVID-safe workplaces. Vaccines are Colorado’s key to a future after the pandemic. After vaccination, Coloradans can go back to enjoying the things we like again safely. This is how we return to a more normal life.
Here’s how to get your business involved:
- Take the Power The Comeback/COVID Safe Business Pledge to become an official Power the Comeback Business Partner and access the official business partner tool kit.
- Schedule a vaccine event for your employees.
- Schedule a vaccine event/promotion for your customers/patrons.
- Share a Power the Comeback testimonial video or awareness ad (see below)
