Hope and Harmony Global Wins Funding at the YEA Shark Tank!

Our very own Ruth Pumerajo (class of 17) has been involves with the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneurs  Academy (YEA). YEA, is a year -long program that teaches middle and high school students how to start and run their own real business. The program culminates with students pitching their businesses to local investors with the intention of receiving a cash investment that would be used to help start the business, much like what is done on the hit televisions show Shark Tank. On Wednesday evening,March 30, Ruth pitched her non-profit business, Hope and Harmony Global, to the investors. She was able to secure over $600 dollars in funds which will help kick start her charity. You can check out Ruth's organization, Hope and Harmony Global on Facebook, twitter, or on the web at Hopeandharmonyglobal.org.  We are all incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication Ruth provided to her project!
