It was a night for local businesses to shine in Tampa.

On Thursday night, 33 businesses from the Bay area showed up at the Tampa Convention Center for this year's Bright House Regional Business Awards.  

Save on Medical came away with this year's Best Start Up Company.

"Honored to have the opportunity to make the pitch and be a part of this," said Christenderry. "I'm really excited."
