Kid to Kid Thanks SCORE
Kid to Kid is thriving today as it helps customers outfit their families for a fraction of retail. We wouldn't be in this position without the business plan that SCORE helped us to prepare.
We had a strong business concept but needed someone to believe in us. It was first our SCORE mentor, Jack Carr who had faith in what we wanted to accomplish. From there, he helped us to realize how to present our business plan and get banks to listen. And they did.
After 3 years of serving customers, our business is still growing from the seed that was planted with the help of SCORE. We're living out our dream of being business owners. And we couldn't have done it without your help.
On behalf of thousands of customers, our employees, and our family, thank you for making a difference at Kid to Kid of York.
Sincerely,
Vickie & Roger Kelley
Co-Owners, Kid to Kid of York, PA | |
