Online, December 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The BizWorld Foundation wishes to express its sincere gratitude to The Independent Institute, a non-profit, non-partisan, scholarly research and educational organization. In appreciation for their generous support, BizWorld would like to announce The Independent Institute as presenting sponsor for the seventh annual BizWorld Education Luncheon, to be held Tuesday, December 14th at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco. The BizWorld Foundation inspires children to be innovative leaders through the teaching of entrepreneurship, business and finance. BizWorld connects third through eighth grade students to the real world by providing curricula, training educators and fostering collaboration between education and business.
"Donations are a critical and appreciated part of growing our organization and reaching children around the world with our entrepreneurial and finance curricula," says Catherine Hutton Markwell, Chief Executive Officer of The BizWorld Foundation. "The philanthropy of The Independent Institute directly supports our Education Luncheon. This in turn will enable BizWorld to reach a broader audience of donors so that our curricula can influence a greater number of children."
The seventh annual BizWorld Education Luncheon supports business education in the classroom. This key event of the year is attended by the Bay Area's leading CEOs and Silicon Valley venture capitalists. This year BizWorld will honor Ron Conway, Founder and Managing Partner of Angel Investors, for his true entrepreneurial and innovative spirit.
David Theroux, President of The Independent Institute, noted "We deeply believe in the mission of BizWorld, and we hope that the Education Luncheon will encourage others to support their efforts to enrich children's education."
All proceeds from the luncheon will benefit The BizWorld Foundation. Tickets for the luncheon are $170 and table sponsorships range between $5,000 and $25,000. To register or sponsor a table, please visit www.bizworld.org.
