On March 27, ten of Charlotte's most innovative and dynamic nonprofit entrepreneurs took the stage at Knight Theater where they each had three minutes to share their nonprofit's ideas, struggles and goals to a live audience and four judges. The event, called SEED20 OnStage, was hosted by Social Venture Partners and drew an audience of over 900 people and many more viewers who watched online.

One of the nonprofits featured that night was Cabarrus County nonprofit, Families First in Cabarrus County. Aurora Swain's pitch described the current struggles of low-income families in our community, and the impact their programs have had on the families they serve.
