An inspiring event celebrating 25 years of BUILDing legacy and impact.
Starting this Spring, more than 52 teams of BUILD high school students representing four Public Schools will pitch their innovative business ideas to volunteer judges in hopes of earning a final slot at our 25th Anniversary milestone BUILDFest Challenge. These talented finalists will compete in front of a panel of VIP judges and hundreds of BUILD community members for cash prizes and start-up funds.
This event will feature a cocktail reception and student business expo where guests will have an opportunity to meet BUILD’s student entrepreneurs and purchase their unique products.
