Media Advisory
Toronto, November 14, 2011 – Toronto, ON November 14, 2011 – Booty Camp Fitness Inc. creator & CEO, Sammie Kennedy, has been distinguished as one of Canada’s top 20 young entrepreneurs as part of the first annual FuEL Awards celebrating Canada’s Future Entrepreneurial Leaders. The FuEL Awards honour the achievements and aspirations of entrepreneurs under the age of 30.
“I’m so excited to be included in this first-ever award series recognizing young entrepreneurs,” says Kennedy. “Starting Booty Camp at the age of 24 and growing it in the last four years to nearly 100 locations with over 70 instructors was definitely risky. Taking that chance has proven incredibly rewarding and I’m very proud of how the business has grown. To have my efforts acknowledged with this award is icing on the cake. Canadian youth boast a lot of entrepreneurial talent and it’s great that the FuEL Awards are highlighting these driven individuals.”
“Canada’s future competitiveness rests in the hands of entrepreneurs who can produce world-beating innovations, create high-quality jobs and build sustainable businesses,” said Ian Portsmouth, editor-in-chief of PROFIT Magazine. “The winners of the inaugural FuEL Awards not only show those abilities, but are also role models who inspire youth to choose the entrepreneurial path.”
The FuEL Awards take a unique and innovative approach by engaging Canadians of all ages and walks of life in determining the winners. The program integrates today’s most popular social media tools to attract nominations, applications and votes for the candidates. Votes from the general public constitute 20% of each candidate’s total score, with the remainder determined by a panel of judges from the entrepreneurial community.
