Could you pitch your business skills against others from across the country to see who can raise the most money for Haiti?

Would you like to make your CV stand out from the crowd?

If so, you are just the kind of Business Hero that Save the Children need.

And that the children affected by the earthquake in Haiti need too.

If you enter the Business Heroes Challenge:

• - You will pitch your business skills against others across the country to see who can raise the most for Haiti.
• - You could win up to £500 funding for your business idea from our sponsors Reckitt Benckiser and Accenture.
• - You could have the opportunity to work with an experienced mentor from Accenture, Barclays or IBM to develop your idea.
• - You will gain skills and experience to build your CV and to help you stand out from the crowd at job interviews.
• - Your ideas and achievements will be visible to companies across the UK who are looking out for great talent.
• - You will tangibly help Haitian children who have been tragically affected by the earthquake.

For the ideas that raise the most money, our sponsors have offered:

• - An internship for summer 2010 with Save the Children (funded by Reckitt Benckiser) for the business that raises the most.
• - A personal career coaching session including CV review, mock interviews and skills sessions for every winning student (provided by Citi).
• - A lunch at Barclay’s Canary Wharf offices for the top 40 fundraisers (provided by Barclays).
