High school students from the greater Kansas City metro will gather to learn about real-world problems our Pure Pitch Rally alumni are tackling. Then, they’ll break out into small groups to define and present their own solutions to defined challenges. Does your school or program have what it takes to walk away with prizes and bragging rights? Learn more about how it works and then register to compete.
