The Tory Burch Foundation announced Kate McAleer as the winner of its first-ever pitch competition.
 
McAleer was one of ten fellows that were selected to be part of The Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Competition, a Fellowship Program which provides young entrepreneurs with business guidance from the Tory Burch Foundation.

 
The pitch competition was part of a three-day workshop in New York City hosted at the Tory Burch Headquarters, where all ten fellows were asked to pitch their business plans before a judging panel.
 
As the winner, McAleer will receive a $100,000 grant investment for her business, Bixby & Co., which produces a line of better-for-you candy snack bars.
