Huntington High School’s BioSol Virtual Enterprise company is hosting a Night of Networking at the Halesite Fire Department on Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students with an ID. There will be food and raffles and an opportunity to see a team of teenagers display their dazzling business skills.
“It’s going to be such a fun night with amazing raffles and great food,” said Marissa Stafford, vice president for marketing. “Those who attend will learn so much about our product and our goals of helping the environment and people. It will also showcase all of the hard work and dedication that all the BioSol team members have put into our product this year.”
The Virtual Enterprise course involves class participants developing and operating a simulated business within a corporate structure to prepare them for the real life business world.
BioSol boasts that it’s the producer of the “first-ever” biodegradable sunscreen wipes. “We at BioSol are striving to make sun protection a quick, easy and environmentally-friendly process,” company CEO Charles O’Rourke said. “We produce our sunscreen wipes using only 100 per cent all-natural ingredients that are healthier for the skin and can be safely returned to the environment after use.”
BioSol donates five percent of its profits toward environmental research and another five percent to help those who have fallen victim to skin cancer. “Here at BioSol we care about protecting the planet on which we live and the people with whom we share it,” Mr. O’Rourke said.
The executive team also includes Matt Gennarelli (chief operating officer), Alex Gonzalez (chief financial officer), Sarah Giarriaputo (human resources administrator), John Holly (chief sales officer), Andreas Seferian (vice president of design needs) and Isaiah James (office manager).
Harry Cozine is the “brain” behind BioSol’s “billion dollar” idea. Mackenzie Eccles’ artistic talents have advanced the company and its product. Nick Lomler’s mastery of Adobe Photoshop and digital design have put the firm on the cutting edge of such concepts.
The BioSol company team also includes equally vital members Alexa Amorison, Ben Collins, Jack Flores, Aiden Franznick, Liam Hassett, Owen Husselbeck, Charles Kiviat, Marcus Maerz, Eunice-Bonita Ramos, Cameron Santa-Maria and Christopher Weber.
Wednesday night’s event at the Halesite Fire Department is expected to be a real blast. “I think we’re in for a really fun night,” Mr. Gennarelli said. “We’re expecting to have a large turnou, and there will be a ton of great food to enjoy and raffles to win. The BioSol team has worked tirelessly over the past two months in order to ensure that this night will be a success.”
