Giving Tuesday Thank You

We are OVERWHELMED!

Thanks to all of YOUR support, we have raised over $31,000 for Generation Entrepreneur this #GivingTuesday! Your contributions brought our vision for an America driven by diverse change-makers closer to reality. We are so grateful for all your efforts and enthusiasm!

Special thanks to the 84 friends of BUILD who created their own fundraisers to share with their network and the 280 individual donors who multiplied our impact! 

 

And it’s not just about #GivingTuesday -this campaign will continue until New Years Eve! Give the Gift of Entrepreneurship Education this holiday season!

Throughout this month, we will share the student stories that YOU helped fund and we hope that you will be inspired to continue to help us #BUILDGenE. Thank you for igniting the spark in our communities.






Thank You
