Students Closing in on $5000 targets
Students on Dr. Luke Pittaway’s Applied Small Business Management class are undertaking their final events and entrepreneurial activities this week. Both groups seem to be closing in on their $5000 targets. On the evening of Wednesday April 27th entrepreneurship students were engaged in events all over Statesboro.
The New Venture Planning class were involved in venture panels at Sea Island Bank in Downtown Statesboro, presenting their business plans and being interviewed by a panel of investors (full report to follow).
The Campbell’s Soup ‘Let’s Can Hunger’ team, who are trying to raise 5000lbs of food for the local food bank, were doing a fundraising event at the Pizza Mill on Northside Drive. The students promoted the event and helped to make and serve pizza. They received 10% of the evening’s proceeds and tips. The funds raised will be used to buy canned food adding to the total already collected for the Food Bank.
On campus, at the Russell Union, the Hearts & Hands group organized a major benefit concert for the charity. Over 250 people attended and a series of different groups performed, ranging from a string quartet to a rap group. The event was a significant success and got the group to within $200 of their target for the project.
