HARTSVILLE, SC (November 11, 2021) -- The Wells Fargo Foundation recently provided Coker University and its partners a grant to continue work on the Pee Dee Idea Challenge.

Through the Pee Dee Idea Challenge, area college students develop and pitch a new business idea to a panel of local business leaders for a chance to win cash prizes. It is open to students at Coker, Coastal Carolina University, Florence Darlington Technical College, Francis Marion University, and Northeastern Technical College. 

Wells Fargo has committed to supporting the Challenge for the next four years, through 2025.
