Nearing the Finish Line!
Hello,
We’re going to ask you to do something you’ve probably never heard anyone in our position ever say before: Please don’t give. In fact, you already have. So thank you! You’re already part of this amazing project through your generous gift.
Since you have made a gift, we want you to tell one friend about it. Someone you think should be in the know about Tufts, ELS and the Roadshow. Tell an entrepreneur, an investor, a friend and an ally for our cause.
It will be easy to convince them to give because you asked them. Tufts alumnus, Seth Godin will often say, “People like us do things like this.” With your gift, you’re part of us and a part of this. Let’s share this with others!
We’re almost there!
-Jordan, Josh & Shelby
P.S. If you do wish to give again or elsewhere to Tufts this year, don’t let us stop you.

Up Up and Away!
Thanks to everyone who donated thus far!
With your help, we are going to be able to offer young Tufts Entrepreneurs the ability to network with other east and west coast alumni and established entrepreneurs and refine their business skills.
We're nearing the 50 donor mark to unlock an additional $3000 in funds for Tufts Entrepreneurs - every little bit helps!
Watch this video of alumni, Lou Pelosi, to hear an investor's perspective on the value of the roadshow.
Help Tufts Entrepreneurs by sharing this campaign with your network so that we make a difference!

BONUS: Numbers Matter - Gift Match
Our campaign is all about empowering students and young alumni. We want to increase the reach and participation from our alumni in this effort. Therefore, a small group of Tufts ELS Board Members have offered to add a bonus of $3,000 to this campaign for every 50 donors in this campaign (regardless of donation size). Its all about getting the word out, and letting everyone know that Tufts cares about its students and about changing the world.
