The countdown is on for our 2024 Children’s Business Fair, and we are beyond excited to see the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that our young participants will bring to the event. From innovative products to brilliant business ideas, this year is shaping up to be unforgettable. But before we dive into all the fun and inspiration of the fair, we have something equally exciting to share with you: The Society of Child Entrepreneurs’ WiddyUP Fundraiser and Membership Program!

What is WiddyUP?

WiddyUP is an incredible fundraising platform that allows kids to raise money in a fun and unique way. It’s a simple, three-step process that helps kids show off their creativity and raise money for a good cause—The Society of Child Entrepreneurs.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a Pitch Video: This is your child’s chance to personally connect with donors and share why they’re fundraising. It’s the perfect moment to show their personality and passion, helping potential donors understand why this cause is so important to them.
2. Create a WiddyUP Video: Here’s where the fun really begins! Kids can create a video showcasing a talent, hobby, or interest they love. Whether it’s baking a delicious treat, drawing a picture, building with Legos, or pogo-sticking, the possibilities are endless! The more unique and creative, the better.
3. Invite Donors: Share the fundraising page with family, friends, and your community. The more people who see the videos, the more support you can gather for The Society of Child Entrepreneurs. The best part? The average donation is $52!

Through this exciting initiative, kids not only get to raise money for a great cause but also practice their creativity, communication skills, and entrepreneurship. It’s a fun and interactive way for children to make a difference, all while learning the importance of community support and building lasting connections.

Why WiddyUP?

WiddyUP offers something truly unique: The Society of Child Entrepreneurs keeps 90-95% of the funds raised, which directly supports the programs, workshops, and events we provide to our young entrepreneurs. That means your child is not only having fun, but they are also playing a key role in helping other young people get access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

By participating in WiddyUP, you’re helping us continue our mission to provide hands-on business experience, mentorship, and guidance to young minds who are eager to learn and grow.
