Palm Beach Philanthropy Tank will hold its Finals event at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre on March 8 at 6:00 p.m. The challenge has given Palm Beach County students in grades 7-12 an opportunity to create innovative solutions to community issues and social problems in our community. Finalists are eligible to receive up to $15,000 for each idea, and will receive one-on-one mentoring for the year following.
To be considered for a spot in the finals, applicants were required to submit a description of their project that addressed community impact, program feasibility, solution creativity, sustainability and team strengths. The types of social issues addressed by the selected students include hunger, homelessness, medical care, education for underprivileged students, education for emotionally and/or physically challenged youth, and public health and welfare.
