Number impacted? I raised $200 for the Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit that helps protect the ocean by creating science-based solutions for a healthy ocean.

Did you face any challenges in executing your TAC in the face of COVID-19? If so, how did you adapt to the new reality of the pandemic? I personally did not face any challenges with my project in the face of COVID-19 because I made sure to create a project that I would be able to execute efficiently in the pandemic and not put myself or anyone at risk. My business was done from the comfort of my own home.
