C4C 2009 is in full swing!

We're up and running with Coders4Charities 2009! Dozens of developers and designers are here throughout the weekend working hard to develop and/or improve web sites for these Kansas City non-profits:

Cass County Jobs Club
Midwest Foster Care and Adoption
We Care Ministries
Mid-America Freedom Band
Bria T. Chism Foundation
Kansas Family Advisory Network
FOCUS North America
Ad Hoc Group Against Crime

Specifications were developed last night (Friday), and today everyone is hunkered down in classrooms at Centriq Training Center working on sites and applications for these groups. Chik-Fil-A at Ward Parkway Mall provided us with an awesome lunch, and the Rock Band room is cranking up for those of us who need to take a break.

The KC VideoCore Adobe user group is documenting the weekend for a forthcoming web site piece. You can check out our Flickr Photo Stream as we post pics throughout the weekend.

Our numerous sponsors have provided us with food, giveaways, and support as we crank out the work. Thanks to everyone who's participating this weekend. We'll feed you more information as the projects unfold!

Registration is closed

A heart-felt Thank You to all charities who signed up this year! Unfortunately we can only accomodate a fixed number of charities because we are at max capacity at our venue. As a result, the Charity Registration is closed. We're truly sorry that we won't be able to help you this year, but please stay tuned for future events! In addition, we have received the number of participants needed to volunteer for this event, so Developer Registration has also been closed.

What people are saying...

"A lot of non-profits are truly crippled by inadequate technology – the wasted time, effort and money is ridiculous. Most non-profits are started by people with big hearts but with little or no business experience, so they don’t even know what’s out there. Coders4Charities will really make a big impact with this weekend of work."
-- Shandra Chapman, MFCAA

What is C4C?

Coders For Charities is a 3-day charity event that pairs charities and local software developers. Charities often do not have the funds to implement a new website or intranet or database solution. Software developers often do not volunteer for charities because their skills do not apply. This event is the perfect marriage of these two needs; software developers volunteering their time to help charities better serve their community though the latest technology!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to my hunny for making an awesome cake for #c4c this year!!

Didn't realize that, as coordinator of the #c4c event, one of my duties would be to unclog toilets. That's right, I said duty.

Thanks to technisource for bringing in a TON of Krispy Kreme for the morning!! #c4c

Day 3 is off to a great start. Hilarious story about a developer falling asleep at his computer. #c4c
