Local nonprofits submitted applications for projects that support youth in the areas of literacy, STEM, and the arts. Five organizations were selected and will be pitching their ideas to a panel of judges and the crowd. Judges will decide who will win $10,000 and the audience will pick a “fan favorite” to win $1,000!
