Friday morning we are hosting our annual Zielsdorf Family Pitch Competition with presentations for potential social enterprise start-ups. Our practitioners will attempt to convey specific needs as they seek to tackle a broad array of global challenges. Our judges will be asked to evaluate each presentation upon magnitude of social impact and probability of success. Winners will be announced at the end of our plenary session on this date followed by the ever-favored Taste of Michiana Luncheon.

Irish Impact encourages the support of local enterprises and economic development, and provides lunch from food entrepreneurs in the South Bend, Granger and Mishawaka area. Enjoy delectables such as Chicago-style hot dogs, Greek delicacies, healthy salads and soup, deep dish pizza, and local desserts from Emory's Edibles, The Purple Porch, Wakadog, Gianettos and Elias.
