Last Tuesday, March 31st, Wayne County students participated in their annual “Shark Tank” Day, pitching their businesses to a panel of local CEOs who served as judges. Students delivered short presentations and then answered questions about their financials, marketing strategies, and the work they’ve done to launch their businesses.

Congratulations to our winner, Evan Keen of Keen Geekery, and our runners-up, brothers Aiden and Ashton King of Brotein!

A special thank you to our panel of judges for their time and support, Heather Greenwalt, Tyler Lampley & Sharmila Kakac. We also want to thank La Fuente for generously donating gift cards for our winner and runners-up.

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, April 18th, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Church of the Harvest in Wayne City, Illinois. We invite you to come out and support these students and explore the businesses they have launched this year through the Wayne County CEO program!
