Do you know any creative youngsters? Frigo® Cheese Heads®, a brand from Saputo cheese, has announced the five winners of its 2024 Build a Bright Future vision grants program. The grant invited teens ages 13-17 to share creative ideas and short video pitches for their businesses, nonprofits, or side hustles, with the help of their parents or guardians.
“These vision grants are a testament to not only the brilliant minds who submit their creative ideas each year, but also to the heart these young people have as they hope to better their community and the world,” said Jenny Englert, Marketing Director. “We continue to see past winners amplify their creative ideas through partnerships with programs like WIT and can’t wait to see what this class of winners will accomplish next.”
Also contributing to the vision grant prize packages is Whatever It Takes (WIT), an organization created to help teens achieve their entrepreneurial dreams. These vision grants provide financial support to young creative dreamers in their pursuits to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities, and each winner will receive a total of $5,000.
A press release explained winners will be given access to educational opportunities through the organization, including a custom virtual mentorship program, a four-week entrepreneurial and leadership course, and a one-year membership to the WIT community. This brings the total value of each prize package to $7,000.

Congratulations to these exceptional teens and their innovative ideas!
