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. Fairfield County, Connecticut. 
• When. November 2nd, 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 $75,000. The Connecticut Invention Convention brought programs to 4,000 low-income students through the funds raised by Push For Entrepreneurship. Of these students:

• More than 80 percent self-identify as inventors of color
• More than 58% self-identify as female
• All 4,000 students come from low-income communities
