Holiday Challenge Program

On Wednesday, December 14th, 2016, International Investigator and CEO of Empire Investigation LLC Robert M. Kresson joined forces with The Pittsburgh Social Exchange and their CEO Ethan Nicholas to celebrate the holiday season alongside hundreds of Pittsburgh's finest business owners and professionals — and to support The Challenge Program Inc. in their continued mission of building tomorrow's business leaders.

The event brought together an extraordinary group of collaborators: James Stokes, CEO of ON-3 LLC; Donna Kline of HBKS Wealth Advisors; the Garlow family of Ford Business Machines; and the nation's premier Daniel Craig double as James Bond himself. Together, these organizations and individuals raised more than $3,700 for The Challenge Program in a single evening.

The Challenge Program Inc. has been building sustainable Business/Education partnerships since its inception in 2003. Its mission: motivate students to develop the skill sets required to succeed in school and in their future careers — through in-school assemblies, ceremonies, and direct communication between businesses, educators, and students. The program contributes directly to workforce development and economic growth in the Pittsburgh region.

"From all of us in Pittsburgh — have a great holiday season and a happy new year. We look forward to what lies ahead in 2017."
