It's class business time of the year for a group of central Illinois entrepeuner students.
Sangamon Valley CEO students are tasked with putting together a business and on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, they told Regional Radio they are hosting their 'Grinch Chase 5K'. CFO of the business Russ Brown explains the event will take place on December 21st at Allerton Park in Monticello.
Michael Freese notes the deadline to register early is November 26th. He says registering before that date gets you a tee-shirt as part of your entry.
The class business is an integral part of the CEO program because it teaches students how to work together in a professional setting. Gabby Block points out it is important because it paves the way to creating their own businesses which happens in the second semester of the class.
The event will feature fun aspects like a kid's race, as well as a Grinch who will give everyone a 5-minute head start, and try to beat them to the finish.
