Saint Leo Sponsors ‘Fast Pitch’ Competition

In November, Saint Leo University served as a sponsor of Social Venture Partners (SVP) Tampa Bay’s Fast Pitch competition. At the event, leaders from eight Tampa Bay area nonprofit organizations told their organization’s story in three minutes before a panel of judges, including Dr. Mark Gesner, Saint Leo vice president of Community Engagement & Innovation, and an audience of SVP mentors and community members.

Saint Leo sponsored the People’s Choice Award, won by Florida 1.27, an organization that supports churches committed to addressing the foster care crisis among children. Saint Leo also sponsored an in-kind award that went to the Florida Holocaust Museum, which received consulting services and complementary courses from the university’s Center for Alternative Pathway Programs (CAPP).

The Saint Leo University Brand Marketing & Communications Office provides internal and external communications, as well as media outreach, for the university. The staff covers stories about alumni, university programs, student initiatives, and community projects.
