Institute for Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Education Partner
Each year the CEO students plan an event to raise money to use as seed money when they start their own business (a class requirement). This year the class did some research and found a need for a high-end bingo event on St. Patty's Day Weekend with live entertainment. Students used their sales skills to sell tickets, solicit prizes and spread the word. Over 140 tickets were sold for the event which also included a silent auction. Thank you to Huikkos Bowling and Entertainment Center for hosting the event and to all who bought tickets, donated prizes and came out to support the students. On the topic of gratitude, a big thank you to the following speakers for meeting with the students to share their story: Lindy Haglund, Designer Lindy Haglund; Shylla Webb, Inner Matter; Matt Pohlkamp, Maple Grove Broadway Pizza; Mark J. and Sheila Z., Morries Buffalo Ford; John D'Agostini, Invictus Leadership; Chad Kugler, Seigla Medical; Darren & Megan Fischer, Countryside Diesel; CEO Alumni Mitch Helmbrecht, Central MN Lawn; Chad & Jill Brink, Big Bore BBQ; Jack Pfeiffer, And-One Films; Gary, Kailee, Dana, Andrew, Makayla, Sydney & Kelly, Insurance Center of Buffalo; Charles Thayer, All Around; Steve Rogers, Anchor Plastics; Mike Bauer, Bauer Design & Build; Lane Underdahl, Eclipse Painting; Damon Kocina, Strategic Graphics; Alex & Lori Trogstad, Nautical Bowls and CEO Alumni Lucius LaFromboise, Report Writer.
