TEEN SUMMIT KICKS OFF

Sarasota, FL: Teens and parents throughout the greater Tampa Bay region will kick off the 3rd Annual Greatness Beyond Measure Teen Summit, Friday, July 30, 2010 at 12:30 p.m. at the Ringling College of Art & Design with youth oriented fun and festivities. The three day event is open to youngsters 12 to 19-years-old. There is a $5 registration fee. Sarasota’s own Chris Eisenberg, a top 50 finalist on the popular television program “America’s Got Talent”, will help kick off the summit Friday night at Ulla Searing Exhibition Hall.

“Greatness Beyond Measure” is designed to empower teens by involving them with panel discussions and workshops. This year’s summit will feature interactive workshops about career success, self-defense, hip hop and tips on how to make it through life drama-free. The summit also will include an appearance by television personality and author Fonzworth Bentley, a teen idol singing competition, basketball game, and family cookout.
