Hey, my name is Mason, and I am a 15-year-old local high school student. My whole life, I've been interested in businesses and starting businesses. When I was 8, I created a business named "Mason's Technology Teacher" because I also like technology, and I added it to Google Maps, meaning it showed up as an actual business on Google.

The reason I'm here today is to ask for help with funding for a new Café & Eatery. It will be in front of the Ilwaco Cider Company, located at 116 Spruce Street East, Ilwaco, WA 98624, in a food trailer or a custom-built shack (whichever is the cheapest option).

I want to give more non-alcoholic options to be more kid-friendly and for people who want to stay sober. I also want to serve American-style food with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to choose from. I want to serve coffee shop-style drinks (energy drink mixers, coffee, shakes, smoothies, etc.).

With this new addition to the Ilwaco Cider Co., there will be easier food and drink alternatives, and also, with this, it will be fully kid-run. All profits go back into the business and into future college savings. We are wanting to hire local kids, providing more jobs for kids that need to save for their future. Any amount will help. Please share with people you know so more people can see this!
