Press Release
Entrepreneurial Student Mini-Grants Awarded at Timberline Campus, Colorado Mountain College in Leadville, Colorado
At the recent Entrepreneurship Advisory Council meeting held April 6th, five individuals/teams participated in the Entrepreneurial Student Mini-Grant Application Process by presenting their “Elevator Pitches” to the council members. Susanna Spaulding received a grant in the amount of $5,000 from the John T. and Jeanne E. Hughes Charitable Foundation to provide mini-grants to students. The grants were available to students who proposed entrepreneurial projects with economic potential. Each individual or team had two minutes to give an overview of their business idea and the viability of their project. Upon completion of the presentations, the Advisory Council discussed and voted on which individuals/teams should receive a grant and the grant amount. The Council decided to give each represented individual and team a $750 mini-grant. The two Lake County High School teams were: Cassandra Casias and Caitlin Kuczko, LCHS/FBLA Coffee Cart; and Jake McHargue, Daniel Hicks and Matthew Hicks, Long Shadow Productions (photography services). The three individuals from CMC Timberline were Patrick Kelly, Matchless Carpentry and Restoration, LLC; Chris Petralia, Common Ground Preservation, L.L.C.; and Mark Girard, 2 High Tie Dye (clothing items). The recipients indicated that the grant funds will mostly be used for marketing and advertising purposes, along with equipment and supply needs. Congratulations, students!
