Jesse Beaner’s Button Business recently earned a position in the top 10 with Kelowna’s Innovation Generation Challenge. This challenge is for grade 7 to 12 students to create innovative business ideas, create a company and pitch ideas to the business community.  I am ecstatic about being in the top 10.

Now, in stage 5 of this challenge, I need to create this funding campaign to progress to stage 6........ and I need you more than ever!

As a way to expand Jesse Beaner’s Button Business, I would like to offer our button machines and punches for rent.  I also have a number of new product ideas like water-proof dog tags and children’s alphabet sets in the works. 

Various size machines, punches and supplies are needed for the expansion, so I am looking to raise $1,600.  And if I actually surpass the $1,600 goal, I will invest in additional equipment sizes for both rentals and new product lines.

The Innovation Generation Challenge semi-finals take place May 25th, 2017 and my ultimate wish would be to meet my fundraising goal by this time.  

Jesse Beaner's Button Business has been a big supporter of many charitable organizations since 2013 and truly believes in paying it forward . 

So here is YOUR challenge: 

For every $150 Jesse Beaner’s Button Business raises, we will donate 150 buttons to local charities who have applied on behalf of their organizations. 

Thank you for your consideration.  I am truly grateful for the opportunity Innovation Generation Challenge has provided me and all the great people who have supported me along the way.
