Zinner & Co. is pleased to support Accelerate, an event being held by long-time Zinner client, The Cleveland Leadership Center.

Accelerate, which is billed as a "pitch contest," is an opportunity for young, aspiring community leaders and entrepreneurs to present their ideas to improve their community. Contestants' ideas and presentations will be evaluated by local civic, and business community leaders. Contestants have an opportunity to win seed funding to help bring their idea to life. In addition to a chance at the $5,000 top prize, contestants are also connected with local mentors and leaders who can help them make their plans a reality.

Zinner & Co. Partner, Sue Krantz is serving on the Host Committee for the event. "The event is a great opportunity to support our community. The contestants are visionaries, who will shape the future, and it's a pleasure and an honor to be involved." stated Krantz.
