“S.P.A.R.K” (Smart, Powerful and Remarkable Kids), is a Youth Empowerment Event brought to you by Canopy Brand Group, with one goal in mind: to inspire and motivate our youth to dream big. Canopy Brand Group is a NYC based branding and advertising agency recognized for its unique and actionable approach to creativity: Ideas without Borders. S.P.A.R.K. is intended to support, inspire and motivate our youth, through a panel of professionals in multiple fields (i.e., entertainment, sports, marketing, technology), who will discuss how they became successful, and provide insights for our youth to guide them towards a successful career path. The event will raise funds to award scholarships to young students through the following youth focused non-profit organization, Wishbone. Everyone deserves the opportunity to follow their passion regardless of their socio-economic situation. If that is their reality, then why not let their passion rise to the top. Why not inspire them with successful professionals who can connect with them through real-life success stories. Each panelist is aligned with S.P.A.R.K.’s purpose…Dream Big, Achieve Big.
