Best Showcase Ever was a Big Success!

Thank you to our mentors, sponsors, studios, friends, staff and most of all our CREATE students on making this the Best Showcase Ever! The showcase was a big success, and the students’ pitches were smooth-sailing.

In addition to hosting the showcase, Carson Smith and Darian Gonzalez-Kessler helped us surprise our students and recognized over $725,000 in awards and Scholarships!
