The Charity App Challenge, a joint initiative with the Calgary Herald, Digital Alberta and Place2Give.com, is looking to bring Calgary’s technology and non-profit sectors together for a hack-a- thon challenge. Competing for the chance to win a $30,000 contract, local developers will work in teams over 48 hours from Feb 1-3 building a mobile solution for this year’s Calgary Herald Christmas Fund Charities.
“The Calgary Herald is thrilled that the development community in Calgary has agreed to provide their valuable time and expertise for the first Charity App Challenge (CAC). The CAC will provide a weekend of fun and (we hope!) amazing work that will ultimately produce a mobile App that our Herald Christmas fund charities can use to make even more of a difference for their clients and partners. The Herald, the fund raising community and all the partners involved in the CAC wish to sincerely thank the Calgary development community for their support and we wish them a great weekend of productive coding!” Commented Guy Huntingford, Calgary Herald Publisher.
As part of the challenge, the The Kerby Centre will be receiving and implementing the mobile solution that comes out of the Charity App Challenge.
