Wofford College student Victoria Biggers pitches project during 3rd Annual Impact and Launch Competition

2015 Mar 26

Victoria Biggers, an Launch track finalist, will pitch Wee Celebrations. Wee Celebrations offers "set up to clean up" services for children's birthday parties and corporate events. The business started after Biggers, a business economics major, came to the aid of a stressed neighbor planning her daughter's ninth birthday party.

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.
