Kabara Institute hosts Greenies® founders

The Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies will host a presentation by Joe and Judy Roetheli, founders of Greenies® dog treats at 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6, in Salvi Hall. The event is open to all faculty, staff and students.

It took less than 10 years for Joe and Judy Roetheli of Kansas City, Mo., to conceptualize, produce and market the No. 1-selling treat for dogs in the United States. Greenies® helps clean dogs’ teeth and freshen their breath.

The Roethelis are also compassionate givers, having founded The Roetheli Lil’ Red Foundation which supports a variety of initiatives — including pet therapy for the elderly, building homes in third-world countries in conjunction with Food for the Poor, and supporting entrepreneur programs around the nation.

The Roethelis will share their entrepreneurial story of passion and persistence and their philosophical approach to business. They encourage young people to think and act upon their dreams and hopefully make life better for themselves and others.
