Presenting Your Semifinalists!

We’re thrilled to announce the Individual and Team Semifinalists of the 4th Annual “Grow Your Own Business Challenge"! We received thousands of wonderful entries from amazing kids all over the country. Judging was definitely no easy feat! We commend each and every one of the kids who entered—along with the parents, teachers, and volunteers who helped motivate them. Kids, keep coming up with great new ideas—our judges were truly impressed!
