Summary
$1,000 went to Desert Sands eighth-grader Henry Lopez after he took first place in a Coachella Valley business plan competition with a pop-up bike repair and sales concept.
Friends of CV Link ran the contest for students in grades 6 through 12, asking them to submit realistic, workable business plans; judges selected Lopez's proposal as the top entry.
Lopez said he will use the prize money to restore his collection of old bicycles and help launch the business.
$500 and second place went to fellow Desert Sands student Sienna Kartal, and both students were recognized at a recent Desert Sands Unified School District board meeting in La Quinta.
