Celebrating Small Business Saturday, the Kennedy Berkley Way

At Kennedy Berkley, we know that thriving communities are built by small businesses and that includes local law firms like ours. From sponsoring hometown events to employing Kansans across the state, we’re proud to be part of the small business network that keeps our towns strong. Our offices across Kansas are made up of your neighbors; the same people you see at Friday night football games, the county fair, or your favorite coffee shop downtown. When you choose to work with a local attorney, you’re keeping your dollars in your community and investing in the people who invest right back.

Supporting Small Businesses Starts With Us

This year, we’re celebrating Small Business Saturday in a way that puts our commitment into action. Each member of our Kennedy Berkley team received Chamber Bucks to spend in their local communities; whether that’s a favorite lunch spot, a downtown boutique, or a family-owned hardware store. It’s a simple gesture, but one that adds up to real impact when we all shop local together.

What Are Chamber Bucks? 

Think of Chamber Bucks as our community’s very own “shop local” currency. They work just like a gift certificate or check, but the magic is that you can spend them at any participating business that’s part of our local Chamber of Commerce. In other words: it keeps your dollars right here at home, supporting the shops, restaurants, and services that make your town… your town.

They make the perfect gift, the perfect prize, and honestly the perfect little nudge to try a new business you’ve been curious about. When you use Chamber Bucks, you’re not just buying something—you’re investing back into the heartbeat of our community.

Why Chamber Bucks Matter for Our Local Economy

Because they keep dollars circulating close to home. Every meal, gift, or service purchased supports another small business, another family, and another Kansas community. We wanted our entire team to feel that connection firsthand. We wanted our team to experience how even small purchases can strengthen the local economy and celebrate the people who make our towns unique.

We’ll be sharing photos of our team using their Chamber Bucks, highlighting the incredible local businesses that make our communities thrive. From Salina to Hays, Dodge City to Cimarron to Garden City, our offices are surrounded by hardworking entrepreneurs who pour their hearts into what they do. You might spot one of our team members picking up coffee downtown, finding the perfect holiday gift at a Main Street shop, or grabbing lunch at a locally owned café. Each purchase is a small reminder of how interconnected we all are and how proud we are to live and work right here in Kansas.

So, this Small Business Saturday, we hope you’ll join us. Stop by that local store you’ve been meaning to visit, grab coffee at your hometown café, and remember when you support a small business, you’re helping your entire community grow.
