FULLERTON -- The Fullerton Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Fullerton area. Hope International University recently received the 2017 Best of Fullerton Award, winning in the Local Business category for the second consecutive year.

Each year, the Fullerton Award Program identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and their community.

Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value. These exceptional companies help make the Fullerton area a great place to live, work and play.

The 2017 Fullerton Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to determine winners in each category. Final determinations are based on the information gathered both internally by the Fullerton Award Program and data provided by third parties. Only one winner is selected per category for each town.

The Fullerton Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in a community. The organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups. Fullerton Award Program’s mission is to recognize the small business community's contributions to the U.S. economy.
