Seeking the 'perfect gift'? Perry employers and organizations are happy to report they have found it, in the form of Give Perry certificates.

Give Perry certificates, a program of the Perry Main Street Association (PMSA), can be used like cash at any PMSA member business, allowing companies such as JN White, Tompkins Community Bank and Hart’s Insurance to give local to their employees and to support fellow Perry businesses.

Trini Kuzmicki, President of Hart’s Insurance, rewards her team with Give Perry certificates for reaching goals. “The Give Perry certificates are easy to use, and employees appreciate the special recognition.” “The Give Perry certificate program, begun in 2012 by PMSA, is unique to our community,” says Eleanor Jacobs, PMSA board chair. “The certificates, in $10 and $25 denominations, are a win-win: They support local businesses while being an easy, yet useful, gift.”

And not only businesses purchase Give Perry. The Perry Rotary Club liked the idea of shopping and giving local so much that they funded $1,000 in Give Perry certificates for distribution to deserving Perry Central School District students and their families.

Give Perry certificates are available at Tompkins Community Bank, Perry branch, and can be purchased by anyone.
