Description

Come and Celebrate Social Entrepreneurs at ChangeUP: Presented by Valley First

Doors open at 6:00pm for networking with some light snacks and refreshments. The event will start at 7:00pm.

ChangeUP, brought to you by Valley First and Purppl, is a pitch style event for social enterprises on February 28, 2019. Featured social enterprises will share their stories and solutions for some of the toughest community, social, and environmental challenges. Selected social enterprises will have the opportunity to win one of two subsidized spots in Purppl's six-month acceleration program.

A social enterprise is an organization that sells goods or services to help achieve community, social, or environmental initiatives. It can be for-profit, not-for-profit, or a hybrid, but a majority of the profits must be directed to achieving social objectives.

Don't miss your chance to be inspired, make connections, and learn how local social enterprises are making an impact in the community.

Take a look at the six social enterprises that will be presenting here.
