Just a “Pinch of Magic” – KidPreneur Spotlight
These two kidpreneurs seem to embody the old adage: Do what you love and the money will follow.

Advice from “TinyPreneurs”
Raising money for a good cause was a theme at this years Tinypreneurs event. Children were selling products they created and designed with portions of proceeds going to various charities.

The kids spoke proudly about the reasons for donating the funds:
Dad’s Inspiring Dad’s
That’s exactly what’s happened in meeting our new friends Ramses and his son Max. At age 9 Max wanted to raise funds to attend a summer camp. His dad Ramses listened to all of Max’s innovative ideas to raise enough funds to get to camp. Inspired by his son’s ambition, Ramses decided to utilize his event planning experience and developed a business showcase event for not only Max but all of his friends.
