AUCTION PROGRAM
CELEBRATE<br />
The Stories Within<br />
For 25 years, Youth Entrepreneurs ® has inspired thousands<br />
of high school students to begin writing the first chapter<br />
of their own entrepreneurial tales. Through an experience<br />
different from anything else in high school, YE helps students<br />
learn the business knowledge, skills and important human<br />
values that will guide them to fulfilling lives.
We invite you to come along with us to remember student<br />
and alumni successes of the past, discover those of the present<br />
and look forward to the transformational stories to come.
From Dreams<br />
TO REALITY<br />
KASI ROSS<br />
These featured alumni have taken pen to paper and become the authors of their own futures.<br />
Read their stories and look forward to hearing from them during tonight’s event!<br />
WICHITA HIGH SCHOOL EAST YE ALUMNUS, 20<strong>15</strong><br />
Whether it’s hitting the books, working an<br />
eight-hour shift at QuikTrip or upping his<br />
shoe game with a custom pair of kicks, Kasi<br />
Ross gives 100 percent. He credits his mother<br />
with this hard work ethic and determination.<br />
“I do what I do to make my family proud,”<br />
Kasi says.<br />
In high school, Kasi realized that it would be<br />
wise to provide backup for his pro-basketball<br />
dreams. He enrolled in YE, and the class<br />
unveiled his passion for numbers. “With<br />
Market Day, I was learning and earning<br />
money, and having fun while doing it,”<br />
Kasi says. YE opened doors for Kasi, in big<br />
ways and <strong>sm</strong>all, as he learned how to dress<br />
professionally and feel confident in a room<br />
filled with business people.<br />
“This program opens your eyes by giving you<br />
experience in so many different areas,” Kasi<br />
says. “It made me more comfortable socially<br />
in a business setting because the networking<br />
forced me to make conversation.” Take YE’s<br />
values and tools, then layer in a natural<br />
tenacity, thirst for knowledge and a whole lot<br />
of heart, and you’ve got Kasi’s custom design<br />
for success.
• YE Academy points helped fund his business<br />
• Named one of the prestigious Gates<br />
Millennium Scholars<br />
• A Real Men, Real Heroes mentor and a<br />
member of the City of Wichita Mayor’s<br />

DANIEL SERRES<br />
VAN HORN HIGH SCHOOL, INDEPENDENCE, MO, YE ALUMNUS 2014<br />
Socks and empanadas: If you can’t find the<br />
connection, you probably haven’t met Daniel<br />
Serres. The YE alumnus turned his business plan<br />
idea into a real venture, selling his custom sock<br />
business, DA Socks, to the Kansas City Venezuelan<br />
restaurant he works at, Empanada Madness.<br />
Daniel’s mother brought him to the U.S. when he<br />
was just three years old. “My mom came here to<br />
escape the crumbling economy in Venezuela.<br />
She wanted to provide a better life for me, and<br />
she encourages me to think about the future,”<br />
Daniel says. Introduced to YE as a sophomore,<br />
Daniel took advantage of everything the class had<br />
to offer. “YE is not just another business class,”<br />
Daniel says. “It challenges us to look further to find<br />
those opportunities. It takes a student further than<br />
a textbook and helps us bring our ideas to life.”<br />
Daniel’s sock business is booming. Salvador Perez,<br />
Omar Infante and Alcides Escobar – players<br />
for the Kansas City Royals ® and regulars at<br />
Empanada Madness – recently posted pictures with<br />
his “Forever Royal” socks on social media. “YE<br />
provided networks to help me build my business,<br />
and I’m excited to expand my online business and<br />
to create custom socks for Sporting KC and the<br />
Kansas City Chiefs ® ,” Daniel says.
