If you’re a fan of entrepreneurship or enjoy helping youth, consider attending E CITY’s Ninth Annual Awareness Breakfast on Tuesday, April 13 for an opportunity to learn about E CITY and hear success stories from its students.
This year’s breakfast is at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, located at 777 St. Clair Ave. NE in Cleveland, and Tuesday, April 6 is the deadline to register. The featured speaker is Deborah D. Hoover, president of the Burton D. Morgan Foundation, and products from E CITY students will be available to purchase.
Since 2002, thunder::tech has been a supporter of E CITY, which is a nonprofit that represents Entrepreneurship: Connecting, Inspiring and Teaching Youth. E CITY delivers a program that teaches students entrepreneurial, business and life skills to enable economic independence. The program is offered to greater Cleveland and Akron youth through in-school, after school and summer BizCamp formats.
We have been a pro bono marketing partner with E CITY for several years because of our belief in the organization’s mission. At this year’s breakfast, take a look at the posters and programs created by the thunder::tech team.
Our staff has witnessed firsthand the difference that this program has made in the lives of hundreds of inner city students. E CITY staff recently conducted a survey and found that 84 percent of their alumni have entered or already completed their college education!
E CITY makes a difference and thunder::tech is proud to be a part of their efforts. Register today and you can be a part of it too.

At thunder::tech, we are very passionate about Cleveland and organizations that help make our city a better place. One organization that we truly believe in is E CITY, a nonprofit which stands for Entrepreneurship: Connecting, Inspiring and Teaching Youth. E CITY is a nonprofit that delivers a program to teach students entrepreneurial, business and life skills to enable economic independence.
This coming Monday, May 4, E CITY hosts its Eighth Annual Awareness Breakfast at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven, located at 6111 Landerhaven Drive in Mayfield Heights.
It’s a bit of an early morning (registration and networking begin at 7 a.m.), but it is a great way to support E CITY’s mission and recognize the achievements of Cleveland-area students who will be our city’s next business leaders.
The event on May 4, features E CITY alumnus Blaine Mickens, who was named the 2009 Young Global Entrepreneur of the Year by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) and E CITY teacher, Rodney Decipeda, who was NFTE’s 2009 Global Teacher of the Year.
The best part? The breakfast is FREE! However, donations to E CITY’s program will be accepted and there will be an opportunity to purchase wares from E CITY’s graduates.
