This award is given out to individuals that break down the boundaries of traditional business to create new and dynamic opportunities. As a passionate risk-taker, Jody embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that has made The Bargains Group the success that it is today.

He believed that a single person can make a difference, and the power to make a difference is irrespective of wealth. Rather, it comes when one looks inside to see what he or she has to give.With giving at the heart of its work, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation established The Kauffman Community Award three years ago to honor entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of giving back. Nominees are judged on innovation, leadership, results, creative use of resources, and their programs’ potential to be replicated successfully.
