What is SPARK?
SPARK is an event that fosters local entrepreneurial spirit through connecting, supporting, and enhancing their business goals. During this event, participants will ‘pitch’ their business to a panel of professionals, who will then choose the individuals that have earned the prize of up to $3,000.
