ABOUT
Bookmark League was founded by a 4th-grader named Chris Shao in 2022. He started the bookmark business to compete with the girls' team in his class. With the support of Chris' mom, he developed their products and began selling them. The entrepreneurial spirit and dedication led them to donate the money they earned to No Kid Hungry. By the time Chris was in 6th grade, he and his friend Alex realized that this idea could be replicated and expanded to involve many more children. They decided to transform it into a larger organization, aiming to inspire younger children to create small businesses and make a bigger impact for children's charities.
The organization is now student-operated, allowing children to take charge of their ventures, manage operations, and experience the full cycle of business management. This hands-on approach ensures that they develop both entrepreneurial abilities and a strong charitable ethos.
