Congratulations and a job well-done to Team NewStart!

A panel of judges heard presentations from the seven Ignite Louisville teams to select the winner at the Ignite Louisville Class of 2014 graduation on April 16. While Team NewStart (the group of eight talented young professionals paired with Bank On Louisville) was not selected as the winner of the 2014 Yum! IGNITES Louisville Challenge, our team achieved such impressive outcomes that GE Appliances stepped up to make a $500 contribution to BOL! Thanks, Team NewStart, for all your hard work, dedication, and investment in our sustainability and success! Read the full press release here.
