On April 27, three immigrant-led, local organizations will be honored for their critical work lifting the voices of the region’s immigrants and refugees.
The contest was created by the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia and Independence Blue Cross.
In early 2021, the finalists will be paired with mentors from the Economy League s network to help develop and refine their concepts. They eventually will pitch their concepts to judges during a virtual competition. More than $50,000 in prizes are at stake.
Here are the finalists in each category:
COMMUNITY & SOCIAL CONNECTION
•
Hey, Auntie!, a virtual multigenerational matching service to support millennial women in all areas of life including love, family and work.
•
Hike+Heal, a women’s hiking hive that will offer healing hikes to increase physical, mental and spiritual wellness in Philadelphia.
