MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Today, Greater Mankato CEO celebrated the end of the $1 to $100 Challenge, and the results are in: every team member reached the goal of making $100 (or more) in just two weeks! 🎉

Congratulations to the challenge winner, Adisyn Manske, who made $384 by baking and selling gluten free cookies. "I chose something that was important to me," Manske said. "I learned what it was like to hustle, to get things done by a deadline, and how important it is to network for business."

Congratulations also to Clark Streeter who earned $279.70 to take second place, and Morgan Dimmel, who earned $211 for third place!

This challenge took hard work from every team member, and Mason Freundl is a great example of that determination. He knocked on doors for five hours one day looking for work. When he finally found someone with a long list of yard work, he spent seven hours on their yard and reached his $100 goal!

Together, this group of young professionals turned eight $1 bills into $1,488.17! 🙌 That money will now become seed money for their upcoming CEO class business.

(Note: The photos from our celebration show $1,486.17. A recount after the event found an additional $2, bringing the final total to $1,488.17.)

Thank you to every neighbor, family member, friend, teacher, and business owner who supported these young professionals by hiring them or buying their items for sale. We are so grateful to be part of a community that invests in its young people.

Bravo, Greater Mankato CEO team! 🎉
