Matthews’ Painting Company and employees introduced their 2022 Young Entrepreneur Scholarship winners.

The first $500 scholarship winner is Savanah Felegie.  

Felegie is 12 years old, and her business is called Savanah’s Creations. She makes blankets, handmade cards, soap and bracelets. Felegie originally began her business to help her grandfather, who was suffering from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Felegie’s goal was to spread awareness and to help him financially with profits from her business. Her grandfather has since passed away.

Felegie said she really appreciated those that gave extra money to help pay for her grandfather’s chemo. Her current plan is to use the scholarship money to grow her business and to purchase more supplies. She plans to collaborate with a friend in order to offer more products for sale, according to a news release from Matthews’ Painting Company.

The second $500 scholarship winner is Reid Andrew.

Andrew is 18 years old. Andrew has owned and operated Legends Lawncare since he was 8 years old. He offers mowing and yard services in the Winona Lake/Warsaw area.

He plans to use the scholarship money to upgrade equipment and purchase signage to better market his business.

Andrew’s current plan is to graduate high school and then he plans to continue to work and expand his business into his adult life and looks forward to being a small business owner in our community.
