A long-dreamed of idea and grant money from Wake Forest's entrepreneurial center gave rise to Wear to Win, senior Laura Ormson's company that offers trendy golf apparel for young women. Ormson runs the company with her mother, Cindy Ormson.
It started as a classroom assignment: start your own business with $40 and run it for three days. The result: Wake Wash, launched by seniors Scott Graber, Julie Musgrave and Eleanor Smith, has lasted far more than three days and has liberated fellow students from late-night laundry room duty.
