Competition Brief
ProX is a Real World Learning initiative providing summer professional experiences for high school students.
About
We are BSI Pet Project and we are interning at KC Pet Project. During our internship, we observed a lack of awareness and diversity in KCPP programs, leading to more animals being admitted than adopted, limiting outreach and volunteer numbers. Our solution involves outreach to churches, and high schools for student volunteer hours. Churches target African American and Hispanic communities, while high schools reach a younger demographic, increasing volunteer numbers. Ministers and volunteers can encourage adoption and volunteering in churches and schools. The outreach plan aims to increase diversity of age, race, and awareness of KC Pet Project by sending emails to counselors and in-person talks from current volunteers. The primary audience is young adults and ethnically diverse communities. Next steps include obtaining approval to put yard sale-style signs and involving current volunteers in reaching schools and churches.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
