Capital Pawn, a business with five branches in the Willamette Valley, has received the Outstanding Community Relations Award from the National Pawnbrokers Association (NPA).
“At Capital Pawn, we believe in going beyond business to truly serve and strengthen our community,” said Adam Anundi, who co-owns Capital Pawn with his wife Beth.
“Capital Pawn’s mission has always been to help people. Receiving this award is deeply gratifying because it reflects that commitment and reinforces our dedication to serving our community and improving quality of life for our colleagues, customers, and neighbors,” Beth added.

“These events bring our community together for a cause,” Adam said. “We believe business can be a force for good.”
