2022 Sunrise Edina Business Breakfast - May

Speakers: Gene and Keidy Palusky | XTorch
Gene and Keidy from Edina, MN are the founders/creators of the XTorch, a solar powered device that works as a flashlight, lantern and cell phone charger.
Lack of light is a common problem in developing countries. Keidy experienced the issue first hand growing up in the Dominican Republic and while she and Gene were helping children in Equatorial Guinea, Africa.
Now their life passion is to get aXTorch into the hands of energy-poor children and advocate the humanitarian benefits of a solar-rechargeable light. They donate at least 25% of profits to disaster relief organizations. Last year, they donated 2,000 devices that went to Haiti and the Colombia-Venezuela border. 
Since launching in 2014, they've donated more than 4,000 XTorches. The more people who buy XTorch, the more they can donate to non-profit organizations.  

The Sunrise Edina Business Breakfast is a networking event created to bring small- to medium-sized businesses in the Edina community together for an opportunity to learn more about our local businesses, gain knowledge through education, and share business challenges and opportunities. Be sure to bring your 60 second "creative" commercial detailing your business, upcoming special event, or a product offering you have. And don't forget to bring plenty of business cards for networking!
