Please join us on Thursday, February 5 at 8:00 am ET for the Defy PA Business Pitch Competition and Graduation at the PA State Correctional Institution in Chester!
What's it all about?
Business Pitch Competition & Graduation
This is the big day! After months of preparation, Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs) pitch their business ideas in a Shark Tank-style competition and graduate from Defy's transformational CEO of Your New Life program.
As a volunteer judge, you'll:
Offer feedback on EITs' business pitches
Ask thoughtful questions and help shape strong ideas
Celebrate EITs' journeys at a moving cap-and-gown ceremony
The event also includes community-building activities that break down barriers and build trust. It's a day of powerful stories, renewed purpose, and second chances.
Please reach out to Khia ([email protected]) with any questions, and we'll see you soon!
