Goodie Hack[athon] For Development #HackCancer #HackSTDs
Friday, June 22nd - Sunday, June 24th, 2018
Here’s the deal. Way too many people in the United States are affected by cancer and STDs each year. But Goodie Impact Pre-Accelerator: Hack Cancer + STDs  is meant to change that. It is a 3-month program where founders see their ideas about ways to help those currently or potentially affected by cancer get turned into reality.
This Hackathon For Developers, Phase III in the pre-accelerator, is a 48 hour experience where developers, web designers, and product managers donate their talent, and join the teams of these founders in an effort to turn their clickable prototypes that combat cancer into working products.
This is your chance to help those impacted by cancer, and possibly win money and other prizes. It’s a mashup of social good, tech, entrepreneurship and highly-skilled people, and, quite possibly, the coolest community service project you’ll ever experience. Register and join our community of changemakers today!
