At BUILD, we’re especially grateful to our friends at TUGG for supporting a BUILD marathon runner. Brent Grinna, CEO and Founder of EverTrue, will be running to support BUILD student entrepreneurs.

“BUILD is an easy organization to support given the impact they’re having on their students through entrepreneurship,” said Brent. “I’m happy to support BUILD students in this way.”
