✨ Seneca CEO Class Business Lanches CEO S’mores at The Sutton Bank Ice Rink THIS SUNDAY. ✨
The Seneca CEO program, a transformative initiative designed to empower young entrepreneurs in Seneca County, is excited to announce the launch of its class business, CEO S’mores, at The Sutton Bank Ice Rink. This new venture would not have been possible without the support and innovation from Operation Hallmark in collaboration with the CEO class. CEO S’mores marks a significant milestone for the students as they embark on their entrepreneurial journeys.
CEO S’mores’ grand opening is on Sunday, December 8th, following a special Ribbon Cutting Ceremony by the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce at 4:00 p.m for the Sutton Bank Ice Rink at Oakley Park. The public is invited to attend the ribbon cutting and enjoy the first evening of the ice rink and the entrepreneurs exciting new business, with proceeds from CEO S’mores opening night donated to support the Seneca CEO program. Skating will also be a donation only this evening towards Operation Hallmark.
CEO S'mores will be offering s’mores at the ice rink from December 8th to February 2nd. The stand will be open on Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The final day of operation will be Sunday, February 2nd.
As part of this initiative, the CEO students have partnered with Operation Hallmark, a local community organization, to bring the project to life. Another huge asset to the success is Tiffin Parks and Recreation, without their efforts the rink would not be possible. These collaborations have been invaluable in helping students gain real-world business experience and navigate challenges, such as organizing volunteers, managing time effectively, and staying adaptable. Thank you to Operation Hallmark and other local community members for all your efforts with the Seneca CEO Program during their class business.
When thinking about the business planning phase, young entrepreneur Braylan Mullholand reflects, "The moment we had to pivot was when we realized we had too much on our plate.” "An opportunity to partner with the ice rink and Operation Hallmark came up, and it allowed us to streamline our efforts and focus on making this experience the best it could be."
Leo Diamantopoulos, one of the program's students, will even be speaking at the Downtown Tiffin Tree Lighting Ceremony, by Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce and Destination Seneca County, on December 6th at 5:30 pm, to promote the business and encourage community support.
Community members are encouraged to come out and support the CEO S’mores venture by enjoying delicious s’mores and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs. The proceeds from selling s’mores will benefit the Seneca CEO program young entrepreneur’s personal businesses, helping to continue its mission of fostering business skills, leadership, and innovation in young adults.
