Well City Challenge Pitch Competition

Fleisher is thrilled to share that we have been selected as a finalist in the Well City Challenge Pitch Competition. This social impact challenge addresses Philadelphia’s millennial health and mental well-being challenges. Fleisher’s team will be presenting its pitch live online on March 2, from 5:15-6:30 p.m.

Of the 100 ideas submitted during an open call, 15 community solutions were chosen to participate in incubator workshops and a pitch competition. Fleisher’s pitch, a collaboration with our friends at Juntos, is called Mind Your Art. Our idea leverages hands-on art-making to help build connections, reduce isolation, and improve overall well-being for Latinx millennials and their families. We will engage our mobile art studio, ColorWheels, to bring socially distanced art activities led by Spanish-speaking teaching artists to parks throughout Philadelphia.

Virtual pitch competitions are produced by the Economic League and will take place over three days. Each day will center around one of the three focus areas: community and social connection, food and nutrition, and mind and body. During each pitch competition, a panel of judges will select a winner to be awarded $10,000. The audience will select the People’s Choice Award winner, which comes with a prize of $7,500. All winners will move on to an accelerator to further develop their idea.

We hope you will participate in the community and social connection pitch competition on March 2 at 5:15 p.m. and vote for our idea to become a reality. Click here to register for the event in advance. We also encourage you to check out the other pitch competitions:
