It was indeed a humbling experience and we’re happy to report that GAD Youth Center was awarded 1st Prize ($2,300) as well as the prize for Audience Pick ($500).
Congratulations to all the winners as well as the entrepreneurs selected as the top 10 finalists.
GAD’s mission of “REBUILDING and REDEFINING the VILLAGE it takes to raise a child” was indeed in full effect for this project.
When we say, “It takes a village”, it’s not just a cliché. Our sincerest thanks to GAD’s village for your efforts in putting together a final product that resulted in GAD being selected as one of the top 10 finalists and invited to pitch live.
Our heavenly Father, the Almighty God for the vision and plans for GAD! (Jeremiah 29:11)
