Pitch 'N Punch

Where students learn the fundamentals of pitching

Pitch ‘N Punch

Pitch ‘N Punch is a Shark Tank-inspired pitch competition designed for aspiring entrepreneurs entering grades 5th-8th to showcase their innovative business ideas or projects aimed at fostering positive change within our community. This event offers participants the opportunity to pitch their concepts to a panel of esteemed judges and a supportive audience for a chance to win up to $350 in cash prizes!

Up to 10 participants will deliver their pitches, lasting 2-3 minutes each, with optional props or prototypes to illustrate their vision. But before taking the stage, contestants must attend two comprehensive pitch preparation sessions—one virtual and one in-person—to fine-tune their presentations and enhance their confidence.
