✨ Pitch Day Recap ✨

This morning was one of those reminders of why this program matters so much. Our students took the stage for Pitch Day and shared the businesses they’ve been building, and it was so fun to watch it all come together.

Each student had just 3 minutes to pitch, followed by questions from our judges. There were definitely some nerves, but also a lot of confidence, growth, and really strong ideas. They’ve come a long way.

We’re so thankful for our judges who gave their time and invested in our students:
✨ Brittany Niemerg
✨ Connor Pollman
✨ Matt McKay

Thank you to Lanracorp for providing the prizes and supporting this experience.

Pitch Day Winners:
🥇 Kaylee Tompkins took 1st place and a $150 investment in her business
🥈 Keelan Speagle earned 2nd place and a $100 investment
🥉 Lucas Miller placed 3rd and received a journal pass along with his pick of trade show booth location

We are really proud of every student who stood up there today. It takes courage to put yourself out there like that, and they did an incredible job. 💛
