Businesses and Nonprofit Organizations Recognized for Doing The Right Thing
Cincinnati, OH -“Too often the news is about the scandals or problems with businesses and nonprofits,” BBB President Jocile Ehrlich said. “Our Torch Awards not only recognize good organizations, but lets our community know that good organizations that are committed to doing the right thing are the norm.” She added that our community has much to be proud of.

The Cincinnati BBB was founded in 1926 when the economy was roaring. Consumers needed to be able to rely and trust the companies they dealt with on a daily basis. The BBB’s founding members recognized that need and formed an organization that would set standards, lead the way, and promote a better, respectable and more ethical marketplace. The Torch Awards are a continuation of the BBB’s 84-year tradition and commitment to furthering that mission.
