BSW Student Launches Business with Ellbogen Entrepreneurial Grant - Supporting Community Members with Disabilities 

TeaLayna Hill, a senior in the BSW program, and her sister Tesa Halter were delighted to have the opportunity to compete in the University of Wyoming John P. Ellbogen Business Competition. They developed a detailed business plan throughout the year and presented Torch Creamery at the final competition in April. They received the third place prize in the amount of $10,000. 

Torch Creamery is a new company with a mission to advocate for people with disabilities while also establishing meaningful employment. To accomplish this Torch Creamery will provide quality ice cream to the community.

The business will make its first appearance June 2020, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, and will franchise within the next couple of years. Although Torch Creamery will be selling ice cream, it is imperative to note that this is more than just ice cream; it is a way to advocate for and empower the highly valuable people that are often dismissed in the workforce. By doing so, Torch Creamery will give this community the opportunities that they deserve and fight to diminish the typical yet harmful beliefs about people with disabilities.
