Wofford College student Helen Birdsong pitches project during 3rd Annual Impact and Launch Competition

2015 Mar 26

Helen Birdsong, an Impact track finalist, will pitch Let's Band Together. Let's Band Together offers underprivileged middle school students free music lessons taught by college music majors. The service organization was started by Birdsong.

Wofford's Impact and Launch programs offer scholarships to students who want to learn entrepreneurship skills through the Impact track, which promotes social-good projects and non-profit businesses, or through the Launch track, where students start and run a for-profit business. The students pitch their projects to a panel of judges in a "shark-tank" competition for a chance to win $20,000 in cash and prizes.
