Miles was honored to participate in a Colorado Capital Conference hosted by the Rockies Venture Club on Octoboer 2, 2012. It was interesting to watch as he stood up in front of a room full of adults and gave his business pitch. He along with one of his friends, Lyla of Flour Gal, was awarded the Youth Entrepreneurship Award!

Miles chose Project C.U.R.E. as his charity. A portion of all profits from Sushimee are being donated to Project C.U.R.E..
Miles was first introduced to them when he had an opportunity to volunteer with them. Their mission is to gather unused medical supplies from the U.S. and ship the medical supplies to third world countries.
His night of volunteering entailed sorting the supplies and helping to pack them up and prepare them for shipping. He packed them up and learned all sorts of information about medical supplies we had never seen before!

Here he is presenting his first official donation of $50 to Megan at Project CURE.
It was sooooo cool to see the Figure It Out show air on Nickelodeon! Thank you for all the comments!
I am having a big launch party this Saturday so my friends and family can see and taste the new Sushimee flavors. And for every box I sell this Saturday, I will donate .50 to Project C.U.R.E.

Sweet things happen with the Candy Sushi kid and the Cake Bubble Lady get together to brainstorm new ideas. Thank you to Pam Hackbarth of Cake Bubbles for spending an afternoon with Miles at Lola's Sugar Rush candy store in Littleton, CO. Together they brainstormed several new ideas.
Miles took those ideas in front of a Kids Focus group took place in January 2012 at the Young Americans Bank in Denver. Those 8 kids tasted candy after candy after candy and even had the chance to try to create their own new combination.
New and exciting products are on their way soon!
