Michele Kapustka and Melisa Moroko created a fun way to send a heartwarming message to someone. Send a Ball allows you to have a unique message written directly on a ball and be sent through the mail inflated.
Word of mouth helps them increase business as many receivers of balls turn into senders.
To keep up with demand Michele and Melisa have their kids help fill orders and are looking for money to help bring a production process to Chicago.
Barb, you know about balls.
The sharks all had a blast and enjoyed Michele and Melisa's pitch and are all rooting for them to succeed and believe they will but did not make any offers.

Michele is trying to focus on doing more corporate business. For example, she received an order from the Coca-Cola company in Atlanta, Georgia, to send a ball for their employees' birthdays, which provided a single sale and steady income each month.
Michelle still works from home from her "ballroom," so she maintains low costs. Business fluctuates and in some years Send A Ball makes no money, but Michelle values other things like happiness and propper work so she considers herself successful.
