The ThinkTank Florida Nonprofit Month: Supporting Young Entrepreneurs!

In honor of The ThinkTank’s Florida Nonprofit Month, we’d like to highlight a very special nonprofit organization, NFTE (Network For Teaching Entrepreneurs). NFTE provides a highly experiential and academic program that inspires young people from low-income communities to plan for successful futures by pursuing educational opportunities and starting their own businesses.

Support young entrepreneurs from South Florida!

NFTE is hosting The Elevator Pitch Challenge 2010, and is giving 25 business-savvy teenagers a chance to pitch their business plans, and the winner will receive start-up capital to carry out their idea or to advance their business education.

The nominees have each created a 30-second elevator pitch video for their business idea, and NFTE needs your help to choose the best one! All of these students' business plans represent the best of the best from across the country, selected by local and regional panels to make it to the national finals. Take a moment to watch the videos and vote for your favorite - http://www.elevatorpitch2010.com/florida.

Online voting runs until October 3rd and the winner will be announced on October 5th at the OppenheimerFunds / NFTE National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge event in New York City.

So take a moment and support the young entrepreneurs from your region!

Watch the videos and vote today!
