Winner of the 2020 Pitch contest, Nicole Wright ’20 recently won the 2020 Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise award at the New York Business Plan Competition. Emeritus Fire Gear, a streetwear hoodie specifically designed for firefighters, was recognized in the Military and First Responders category. A volunteer firefighter at Hydrant Hose Company in Geneva, N.Y., Wright designed the hood based on her experience gearing up and fighting fires. By integrating a Nomex hood into the sweatshirt, firefighters will already be wearing an essential piece of protective gear when called to an emergency.
