If you read this blog often, you know that Trump University supports student entrepreneurs.

I’d like to offer you an opportunity to support them too, by clicking here now to cast your vote for one of the finalists in this year’s BR!CK Awards competition. All the contestants are young leaders whose ideas have the potential to improve the world. The winner you select will receive financial backing, legal assistance and other benefits. The winner will be announced in the BR!CK AWARDS ceremony that will be telecast live on The CW on April 10 from 9:00 - 10:00 PM ET.

I don’t want to influence your vote, but let me take a moment here to tell you what just two of the BR!CK Awards finalists have accomplished.

  • Jacob Komar, age 14, founded Computers for Communities. That’s Jacob in the picture above. He collects discarded computers, teaches prison inmates how to refurbish them and then distributes them to needy people. To date, his program has distributed more than 1,000 computers to people who would have a difficult time getting them otherwise. Plus, Jacob has taught inmates computer-repair skills that can help them find jobs after they are released from prison. If Jacob wins, he plans to expand his operations.
  • Jennifer Staple, age 25, founded Unite for Site, an organization dedicated to curbing preventable eye disease worldwide. So far, she has opened 90 chapters and 13 eye clinics in North America, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Her clinics have already served the vision needs of 400,000 people worldwide and sponsored 6,000 sight-restoring surgeries.

You only have until April 9th to vote!

These young people are already accomplishing remarkable things in their lives. I think we can all take inspiration from them. It is never too early in your life to help people or make your dream a reality - and it is never too late.  

So click here and cast your vote now. These young people are doing all they can to make the world a better place. The least the members of Trump University can do is take a moment to cast a vote to support them.

Josef Katz is the Vice President of Marketing at Trump University.

Good day,

12 fabulous finalists here - they are all winners, even though only certain ones will take the official "winner's prize". Thank you for bringing this to our attention. They are all worthy of our support regardless of who wins the BR!CK award and readers of the blog should seek them out to support their great endeavors.

Best regards,

Harry
