outh Entrepreneurs celebrated past and current student success, while looking ahead at the transformational stories to come during its biennial fundraiser, Biz Bang. The event was held August 26 at the Wichita Country Club. It was a record year with more than 900 guests and 75 volunteers attending, and raised more than $1.3 million. Founded in 1991, Youth Entrepreneurs is a high school program that helps students in need discover fulfillment through the creation of their own business idea. The program provides students a hands-on learning experience inside and outside of the classroom, and teaches the skills necessary to start their own business, improves their marketability in the workforce, and encourages them to continue into higher education.
