About Us
The Kolbe Children's Business Fair (KCBF) is the first Catholic children's business fair in the world! Inspired by the witness of St. Maximilian Kolbe, the KCBF seeks to inspire the next generation of principled entrepreneurs in a culture of faith, virtue, and vision.
​
KCBF is an opportunity for young people to dream, create, work, and serve their customers at a one day market where they will test their ideas in a real commercial exchanges with real customers. 100% of all sales made by the children are taken home by the young entrepreneurs because they are the "fruits of their labor."
​
The KCBF is a program of The Sanctuary Academy - a new model of Catholic education where the goal is for each learner to find a calling that will change the world!
​
The costs of running the KCBF is made possible by generous sponsors and donors.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Principled Entrepreneurs
Young Entrepreneurs

Each young entrepreneur will have a booth to show their wares and pitch to customers.
The Entrepreneur Keeps All Profits
Man deserves the fruits of his labor and so do young entrepreneurs. All sales they make, they keep.

Business leaders will come and interview the young entrepreneurs and rate them in a competition for most original business idea, highest business potential, and best presentation/creativity.
