An Invitation to "SAGE World Cup Entrepreneurship Tournament" in San Francisco on July 29-30

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]


Dear HE-SL Service-Learning Friends,

Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship—SAGE—encourages teens to start commercial and social enterprises, and then present them to a panel of influential judges at the end of each academic year.  The teens do so under the direction of university business students, who serve as positive role models and coaches, in their role as business consultants to their younger protégés.  To this end, I am pleased to announce that the Embassy Suites (San Francisco Airport) will be the host site for the SAGE World Cup Tournament on July 29-30, 2012 (see http://sageglobal.org).

Thus, the purpose of this email is:

a.     To invite you to serve as an esteemed judge and/or observer; we expect about 30 SAGE teams from 15 countries to compete for the 2012 SAGE World Cup championship;
b.     Provide you with the itinerary below. 

First round judging is set for Sunday morning, July 29. The final round is scheduled for Monday morning, July 30. Judges may elect to judge one or both sessions. From 6 until 10 pm on Monday night, July 30, we will have a gala dinner and announce the winners.

If  you can’t join us, please feel free circulate this to Bay Area colleagues.

SAGE would like to thank our main sponsors for this event: Staples Foundation for Learning, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Umpqua Bank, the Pasternak Family Foundation, the California Society of CPAs, Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, the Louis and Harold Price Foundation, and Pacific Gas & Electric.  

If you are interested, please simply reply to this email and say, “More details, please!”
   
All my best,
