YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR SCHOLARSHIP GRANT WINNER:
Patricia Garcia, Unithrifts

The Young Entrepreneur grant winner is awarded to Patricia Garcia, founder of Unithrifts, an app that provides access to sustainable and affordable collegiate gear.

FRESH START BUSINESS GRANT WINNER:
Laura Byrnes, Runners’ Wings

Laura founded Runners’ Wings, a specialty running and fitness store, after her younger daughter, Molly, suffered an accident while running D1 track in college that left her with a disability. Runners’ Wings stocks shoes, insoles, apparel, and other accessories that are accessible to everyone — from seasoned athletes to first-timers and walkers and even those with movement limitations. They offer a personalized fitting service to match customers with the proper footwear and insoles.
