Carter’s BBQ hosts a Father’s Day fundraiser for foster youth. Gray Brush faces funding frustrations. And both businesses unveil something big online and attend ECDI’s small business course graduation. Brought to you by GoDaddy. Watch all episodes of Made in America: https://bit.ly/gdmadeinamerica Despite poor ticket sales, Carter’s BBQ hosts a Father’s Day fundraiser for foster youth in their community. Darren and Theresa are lifted by the support of their family, community and fellow pitmasters they’ve only met online who rally around them to pull off the event. Darren is especially moved when fellow Black pitmaster Brandon Carpenter flies to Ohio to surprise Darren and help him cook for the event. In all, they raise over $3k for Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth (SAFY). Still plagued with funding frustrations, Vonda of Gray Brush Vintage Market visits ECDI to discover their recent small business loan has been approved. Feeling validated, the business partners expand into the rental market and conduct a photo shoot for their new website created with Empower by GoDaddy. They’re also thrilled to be asked to decorate for ECDI’s upcoming small business graduation ceremony. This season concludes at the ECDI graduation ceremony for local business owners who’ve completed their six-week training course. Co-sponsored with Empower by GoDaddy, the course helps entrepreneurs gain digital presence skills and network with other business owners. In the end, the graduates show us what it looks like to believe in yourself, put in the work and be Made in America.
