The graduating class of Accelerator Fellows pops the champagne, in completion of Propeller's 10-month Social Venture Accelerator.

Propeller Pop was the new theme for Propeller's annual benefit event, formerly "The Propeller Gala." The event was in honor of the third class of Accelerator Felllows, consisting of 14 companies, who graduated from Propeller's 10-month Social Venture Accelerator. The evening also helps to support next year's programming.

A dynamite host committee was led by Linda Usdin and Melissa Weber "DJ Soul Sister."

The night included all things POP! A balloon pop room with prizes, popcorn, pop-tarts, pop-rocks, a pop-arazzi photo booth, pop-ular music by DJ Brice Nice and a celebratory popping of champagne.

Thank you to our sponsors, vendors, silent auction contributors, volunteers, host committee and attendees for making the night so memorable.

Applications for the 2014-2015 Social Venture Accelerator are due June 10, 2014. The feedback deadline is Sunday, May 25.
