Air Force Veteran Karen Mertes and Fulfill Your Destiny helps to fund the “Operation Startup” program at Hillsborough Community College. Fulfill Your Destiny’s Business Builder Grants are a great fit for local Veterans who are ready to bring their business to the next level. Fulfill Your Destiny has committed $5,000 to Operation Startup as part of the Accredited Entrepreneur Program at HCC. Karen Mertes is challenging the community to match that donation in whole or in part. All the money will be awarded to a local veteran.  Applications start in January!
