Cleveland GiveCamp‘s name alone might draw some confused looks. But with the tag line, Geeks in the Home of Rock and Roll Coding for Charity, it becomes clear that this is a tech event. A tech event whose mission is to pair creative and technology talent with nonprofits in need.
As part of the national GiveCamp movement, Cleveland GiveCamp hosted its third annual event in July. Held along the shores of Lake Erie, at the LeanDog Boat and Burke Lakefront Airport, the event kicked off on a Friday evening and ended late Sunday afternoon, with teams displaying innovative work that took a weekend to create.
The first year brought together more than 100 volunteers with 21 non-profits, and culminated in nearly $250,000 worth of donated tech services. This year, 200 volunteers worked with 25 non-profits to develop websites, mobile apps and data collection applications, donating $625,000 worth of free services.
Mark your calendars for July 2013, as Cleveland GiveCamp returns to help more non-profits achieve their goals.
