48in48 Boston here we come!

I’m boarding a flight in a few hours to Boston, where we will be holding the fourth 48in48 event! I can barely believe we’ve held three of these events already (Atlanta in 2015, and New York + Atlanta in 2016). And get this, our event this weekend is the first of four this year (Boston, Minneapolis, Atlanta, New York)!

Each of our events – where we bring 250+ web designers and developers together to build 48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours – brings $1.5 million of donated services to that city’s nonprofits. Which means this year 48in48 will bring $6 million in donated services to nonprofits across the United States. Not bad…

…but not good enough :) The big goal is, by 2025, to run 48 events in 48 cities across the globe, on the same weekend, bringing together over 10,000 volunteers to provide over $75 million in donated services to nonprofits. Did I mention we want to do that on the same weekend?!

So that’s the mission we’re on. Thanks to everyone who has helped us get to this point, especially Delta Air Lines, who from the beginning believed in us and continues to be our biggest supporter.

Let’s do this!
