On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Ryan Dost and Adam McCauley, owners of Sandlot Sports, specializing in apparel decorating. They are VIP members of the Small Business Association of Michigan, and were named this year to the Michigan 50 Companies to Watch list. Future plans include doubling revenue in five years through dedicated outside sales and automation. Sandlot Sports also engages in community service through their 501(c)(3) Sandlot Shares, supporting local families and schools. “We've adopted a family in Bay City, a family in Saginaw, and we're helping out one of the shelters in Midland, collecting donations from staff and customers,” Dost says. “In another project we have trees up in each store with ornaments that say this is what that family is requesting, and I think we're actually getting ready to deliver that stuff this week.”
The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.
Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.
Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
