Push For Entrepreneurship: 2024

For every $5 raised, Push For Entrepreneurship is able to bring meaningful, months-long innovation programs to low-income children. Will you help us Push for a better world?

About Push For Entrepreneurship

The Push For Entrepreneurship Event was designed to raise funds for underserved youth through the power of fitness. All funds raised go directly to support K-12 Invention Convention programs in low-income communities. All donations are tax deductible.

If you'd like to support the Push For Entrepreneurship fundraiser, you can either donate directly or register as a fundraiser (a "pusher"), and raise funds from your network.

• Who. Hundreds of parents, fitness buffs, educators, inventors, and community supporters who believe in the importance of young inventors and/or heathy living.
• What. Doing two hours of exercise in a celebration of young ingenuity and a commitment to supporting students without ready access to innovation programs.
• Where. 
  • CT: Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut. 
  • NYC: Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York
• When. 
  • CT: November 2th, from 9am EST to 1pm EST.
  • NYC: November 9th, from 9:30am EST to 1:30pm EST.
• Why. Because EVERY child deserves to be an inventor, and to learn that they have the power to change the world.
• How. When a community comes together to support those who go without, anything is possible.

The Impact of Push For Entrepreneurship

Last year, the Push For Entrepreneurship Fundraiser raised more than $80,000 with total community impact nearly 3x the previous two years. Through Push For Entrepreneurship, the Connecticut Invention Convention brought programs to more than 4,400 low-income students. Of these students:

• More than 70 percent self-identify as inventors of color
• More than 58% self-identify as female
• All 4,400 students come from low-income communities
