MIX Santa Fe awarded $300 to local children's fundraising group Alexandra Ladd's Soapbox Kids last night as the crowd favorite of Royally MIXed ---

The event at the Palace Restaurant and Saloon was another in a long line of monthly meeting organized by MIX Santa Fe, the local group dedicated to using innovative technologies for increasing collaboration among Santa Fe's most creative and motivated artists and entrepreneurs. 
"It's certainly encouraging. We got a lot of positive feedback last night." Alexandra Ladd describes of her win. 
Last night's award to Soapbox Kids was the result of a vote from the attendees, chosen from the 11 finalist of BizMIX, a larger competition in which the winner may receive $10,000 in prize money, mentorships and business development resources. 
"The rubber hits the road this next phase, we’ll do our best to come up with a viable plan and something we can really take off with," Ladd says of her proposal. 
The winner of BizMIX will be announced June 21.
