SCORE: 60 Years of Small Business Success
Helping 17 Million Entrepreneurs achieve their dreams
SCORE proudly celebrates 60 years of helping America’s small businesses launch, grow and thrive. Since 1964, more than 17 million entrepreneurs have received support from SCORE, a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Today, SCORE has a nationwide network of more than 10,000 volunteers serving all 50 U.S. states and territories, guiding entrepreneurs on their path to success.
"You never get what you deserve, you only get what you negotiate". This saying never had more meaning than when selling or buying a business. Learn about the process and protect yourself from becoming a victim.
Are you ready to turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality? Millions of Americans have taken the leap, and with proper planning, you can join them.
Fort Worth Clothing Collective was established in 2022 by Haley Ballenger and Kelly Warner. They launched their organization with a clear vision but little experience in corporate operations. In spite of that they managed to hold successful pop-up events to distribute clothing before coming to SCORE. While Haley’s initial request said “Brand new non-profit start-up. I need help with ... everything!” they really didn’t. SCORE mentors assisted them with budgeting and marketing early on. They then went on to partner with numerous organizations for pop-up events and recently opened a permanent location at the Westside Presbyterian Church.
FWCC collects and distributes clothing at no cost to those in need. They initially focused on children’s clothing and have since expanded to distribute adult and adolescent apparel as well as shoes and accessories. Since opening they have distributed over 10,000 pounds of clothing to people in need. Much of that clothing would have ended up in our land fill had they not recycled it.
They have been recognized for their efforts by television, print and on-line news organizations. Most recently, they were awarded the Heart of Fort Worth Award by the Fort Worth Entrepreneurship Center.
