Technology volunteering platform #charity is offering to run a hackathon for social
good for a tech company that yields the largest number of technology professionals
who sign up to help charities.

Since its launch in April, #charity has attracted professionals from more than 800
companies including PayPal, Ustream, Airbnb and Prezi.

Over the next 30 days #charity is running a competition to find which existing volunteer
can recruit the most of her or his colleagues to the platform. The winner will receive“
a free and fully organised hackathon for good provided by #charity staff for your
whole company”.
