Participants will break into groups and then work in teams to solve a challenge faced by their group’s designated nonprofit organization. When time is up, teams rejoin the overall group to present solutions during the “Big Reveal.” A light continental breakfast and beverages will be served. Space for this unique event is limited and will book up quickly. Due to the format of the event, no walk-ins will be accepted and no refunds will be issued. Reserve your spot now!
