Mike Csversko, Business Development Manager for Fusion, lays out the process:
"We've had 3 different scoring levels. so there was the application phase, then there was the business plan stage, and now we're at the live event stage. it's really at the final event that it's allocated, the dollar amounts, and how much to whom. You're sitting on the edge of your seat until the last pitch is over and our CEO Darwin John reveals the final results."
After the money from this year, Fusion will have given over $120,000 through this annual project, and its goal is to build community through business.
Csversko notes that the winners are often encouraged to use local contractors or services in building or growing their operations, feeding the local economy even more.
This event will be held at the Parkland Rec Complex in the Asen Lodge, and it will be open to the public to attend.
Csversko recommends audience members get there early and cheer loudly for the business they're hoping to win, as the lively, energetic atmosphere always makes for a fun time.
The Final 5 businesses include Multi-cook, Countryside Studio & Gym, Parkland Radon Testing and Mitigation, Systems Beauty College, and Friendly's Grocery Co-op.
