LaunchNET Entrepreneur Scholarship - Giving Tuesday 2019
EVERY $25 DONATION GETS US CLOSER TO A $500 BONUS! 

In honor of Marty Erbaugh, our friend and one of LaunchNET's first advisory board members, we are excited to create a scholarship in his name along with our Giving Tuesday Initiative. Marty was a trusted mentor and friend to our staff and clients. Marty was also LaunchNET's mentor of the year for 2017-2018. He is truly missed.

Lee McMannis has generously pledged $5,000 to match all gifts to the scholarship this month!

Your gift of $25 becomes $50; $50 becomes $100!

Also, for every 15 unique donors who give $25+ to this fund, we will receive a $500 Bonus Participation Boost from the Kent State University Foundation!
