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 some of Connecticut's most in-need areas. 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 directly for October 16, when you will do two hours of exercise to support young inventors in the state.

  • 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. Wakeman Boys and Girls Club 385 Center St Southport, CT 06890
  • When. October 16, from 9am EST to 1pm 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 $40,000. Here's the impact the Connecticut Invention Convention was able to achieve with these funds:

  • Underserved Students: The Connecticut Invention Convention brought programs to 878 underserved students through the funds raised by Push For Entrepreneurship.
  • Underserved Communities: The Connecticut Invention Convention brought its programs to 19 underserved schools and/or learning institutions through the funds raised by Push For Entrepreneurship.
  • Urban Program Coordinator: As a result of the funds raised by Push For Entrepreneurship, the Connecticut Invention Convention was able to hire a part-time Urban Programs Coordinator dedicated to supporting in-need schools.
