IRVINE, Calif, April 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Paris Sabo MD, co-founder and COO of Dr. Brite, is one of the 10 Fellows selected from hundreds of candidates to participate in the second annual Tory Burch Foundation Fellowship Program. Founded in 2009 by fashion mogul, Tory Burch, the foundation aims to support women entrepreneurs like Dr. Sabo, who launched her all-natural oral care company in 2015.

Chosen from an initial pool of 800-plus entrants, 30 finalists competed in a public online vote with nearly 50,000 votes cast to help determine the final ten Fellows.

The Fellows will also receive a paid trip to New York City, where they will partake in a three-day workshop at the Tory Burch headquarters. The group will then participate in a pitch competition before a panel of judges to determine the recipient of a $100,000 investment grant.
