We are thrilled to announce that the 2024 Supernova Business Launch Competition is just around the corner! Our official announcement will take place on Wednesday, October 2nd, from 8 AM to 10 AM during 1 Million Cups at the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce.

As we approach this exciting date, we are urgently seeking last-minute sponsorships to directly support the prize dollars for our finalists. These funds will ensure we can reward not only our People's Choice and Grand Prize winners but all of our Fabulous Five finalists. Your support will make a tremendous difference in celebrating these deserving entrepreneurs.

In 2024, our Board of Directors made the impactful decision to shift from a large-scale event to a more intimate gathering, creating an atmosphere dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs. This allows us to focus our resources directly on the participants, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve.

Our participants embark on a remarkable journey, starting with the Business Readiness Boot Camp and preparing their business plans from early March to late June. They then submit an essay detailing how they support individuals with barriers to employment and impact the social determinants of health in our region. Following this, they compete for votes in our People's Choice Award. After six months of rigorous development, planning, and participation, it all culminates in one day, one event, and one announcement.

Each of these entrepreneurs deserves to be celebrated for making it this far. With your support as a sponsor, we can ensure that all five finalists are awarded for their dedication and hard work.

We need your help to support these small businesses. They need dollars to start, expand, and thrive. As inflation and the prices of goods and services continue to rise, the challenges to entrepreneurs are greater than ever. Yet, they are the backbone and the core of many communities in our region. We need them to succeed, and your sponsorship helps ensure these vetted businesses have the opportunity to thrive.

We kindly ask that contributions be made by August 30th, if possible.

If you're unable to provide a monetary donation but can offer a service or goods that would benefit our participants, we would love to hear from you! Please email us at supernovablc@ncwedd.com and share how you can contribute.

Join us in making a lasting impact. Your contribution will not only support these innovators but also demonstrate a commitment to a brighter, more prosperous future for North Central Washington.

Thank you for considering this opportunity. We look forward to partnering with you to uplift our region's small businesses.
