Using Entrepreneurship to Give Back
Posted On May 14, 2013
I am a College Pro Window Cleaning franchisee in Andover-Anoka, MN.
With the knowledge I've learned through College Pro and our Entrepreneurship class at the University of St. Thomas we started a business to help children with cancer. It is a one-for-one program selling hats. For every hat we sell, we give one to a child battling cancer.
To date, we have sold and donated over 1,200 hats across the United States.
If you've got the means, help us spread the word.
Check out our facebook www.facebook.com/LoveYourMelon and our website at www.loveyourmelon.com.
I used a lot of what I learned through College Pro to help start this business and it has thrived in the five months we have been operating so far.
Thank you,
Brian Keller
