CBI Bucks are your voting power at Fast Pitch.
CBI Bucks are only good on Friday November 22 from 5:30pm until the close of
voting at Fast Pitch.
Fast Pitch is part Shark Tank (but only the very best parts of the show) and
part American Idol. As in Shark Tank, there will be businesses or
would-be businesses making their business pitch. As in American Idol, your vote
counts! You vote with CBI Bucks.
SUPPORTERS
If you RSVP that you will be attending Fast Pitch as a supporter, there will be
$500 in CBI Bucks waiting for you that evening. During the pitch part of the
evening, listen closely as the companies present their business plan. Ask
questions and provide supportive feedback and help the business owners make the
connections they need to make to succeed. After the final pitch you’ll have a
chance to vote for your favorites with your CBI Bucks. Network and enjoy
a light refreshment as the scores are tallied and the fast pitch recognition
awards are announced.
Mark your calendars now to support our local businesses. November 22nd, 5:30pm at the CBI. RSVP by calling us at 931-456-4910.
