Entrepreneur of Impact 2026 - Day 6, Round 3: Impact Through Community Support and Standings



Community Is a Two-Way Street: Giving Back Through the Cary Grove Chamber


One of the easiest things to forget when you’re building something is that you don’t do it alone.


Community shows up in ways that aren’t always visible at the time—introductions, encouragement, opportunities, and support when things are uncertain. Over time, those things compound.


Today is about giving some of that back.


I’m on my way to drop off a NULU deluxe package for the Cary Grove Chamber of Commerce annual dinner, which is a fundraiser for the organization. The Chamber has played a meaningful role in supporting our business, so this is a simple way to contribute to something that benefits the broader local community.


That’s how this is supposed to work.


When organizations invest in you, you invest back.


How to Support the Cary Grove Chamber Fundraiser


If you’re part of the Cary Grove Chamber or attending the event, you’ll be able to bid on the NULU deluxe package during the fundraiser.


If you’re not local, I’ll include a link so you can still learn more and participate where possible.


These events matter. They fund the programs and connections that help small businesses grow and communities stay resilient.


If you’re interested in supporting what we’re building directly, there are a few ways to do that.


You can find NULU bundles:


Through our online store, on Amazon, and at RehabMart, which serves the adaptive and assistive product community


Each of these channels helps us reach different audiences, but the goal is the same—make the product accessible to the people who need it.

Entrepreneur of Impact Update


On the competition side, we’re currently sitting in 3rd place in Round 3.


There are 15 people left in the group, and 10 move forward to the next round. We’re in a solid position, but the competition is getting tighter as it progresses.


If you’ve been voting, I appreciate it. If you haven’t yet today, it takes a few seconds and it genuinely makes a difference.



Final Thought


Community is what carries you through the difficult stretches.

And when you have the chance to contribute back—even in a small way—it matters.

That’s where real impact starts.
