Sandbox Columbus | 851 Pearl Street, 43215

(social) startUP brings together a community of socially-conscious entrepreneurs, professionals and creative minds to create social change. (social) startUP participants will be charged with a simple, yet crazy, goal - to create an entrepreneurial solution to make a community partner more sustainable in 2 hours time.

our community partner for this event is Lower Lights Ministries, a non-profit focused on community development in the Franklinton neighborhood of columbus, ohio (near west side). Lower Lights empowers those facing social, economic, relational and spiritual barriers to overcome dependencies and move from "get to give." to learn more about Lower Lights and to get your creative juices flowing on the challenge they are presenting to (social) startUP, please review (click on) this CHALLENGE PROPOSAL.
