PITCH CONTEST FEEDBACK!

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

Hi Friends! We thought you might like to see what our feedback was from our E for All Pitch Contest entry! It's pretty cool to read what people think about our business idea and it makes us very excited for the future of Bennett Brothers Balm! :) -Harry & Heath

Reader1: Ideas that are born out of a personal experience have that special ingredient, passion. You definitely have created something out of wanting to help and comfort your friend through his cancer treatments. I admire what you are doing. As you are students and ages 11 and 7, I would like to know who is guiding and helping you? It sounds like if this is FDA approved you will have many more outlets to sell your products. Who will be presenting these products to hospitals and other facilities? I am sure you have grown and learned a lot...and I can only imagine in a few years all that you will know about growing a business and selling products. Where do you hope to be in the next 5 years?

Reader2: Dear Harry and Heath, Thank you for your application to the EforAll Lowell-Lawrence All Ideas Pitch Contest. This is an absolutely wonderful idea and business! The social mission is powerful. It's so impressive that you've developed this and you're only 7 and 11. There are tons of programs and opportunities for young entrepreneurs, so definitely keep at this. I'm definitely recommending you to Pitch. Be sure to reach out to the staff at EforAll for support if you need.

Reader3: You are such an inspiration! What great friends you are! I hope you continue with this effort and are able to raise lots of money for Dana-Farber. Good luck!

Reader4: This is the greatest idea I have heard in a while. This idea has that special element of passion and love in the product. Any idea with a cause really changes the game. I would suggest to see if you could partner with big box stores as a specialty product.

Dear Friends,

Got Tummy Troubles? Bennett Brothers Balm is here to help!

We've created a new balm for upset tummies!

Did you know? Peppermint is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion! Peppermint oil is derived from the leaves of the peppermint plant, a hybrid of the watermint and spearmint plants.

HOW TO: Massage a small amount of "Tummy Troubles" on your abdomen to soothe an upset tummy; apply to wrists and inhale to help relieve motion sickness or general nausea.

Bennett Brothers Balm "Tummy Troubles" can also be used for sore muscles, headaches, and as a chest rub during cold season to help relieve stuffy noses!

Tummy Troubles is NOW AVAILABLE! 

Much Love,

Harry & Heath

DANA-FARBER SPECIAL EVENTS APPRECIATION NIGHT AT FENWAY! 

Wednesday, September 13, 2016

Hi Friends!

Last night we attended Dana-Farber's Donor Appreciation Night at Fenway Park, which included dinner in the Champions Club followed by the Sox vs. Orioles game!

Dana-Farber presented us with the "Young Entrepreneurs" award, a brand new category that they created JUST FOR US!!! We were SO PROUD and honored (and surprised - we had no idea!) to accept this award.

We had so much fun - there was great food (Fenway Franks! Chicken fingers! Cookies!), a speaker, a ceremony, and then we got to see the Sox beat the Orioles (much to our dad's dismay - he's an Orioles fan)!

Thanks to all of you for supporting Bennett Brothers Balm and our efforts to raise money for children's cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. They are doing amazing work there and we are so proud to be a part of it!

Much Love,
Harry & Heath
