The NYC Famine Hackathon is a project of the 50/50: Make or Break Initiative. 50/50 is a platform built to launch 50 fundraising projects in 50 days, with a fundraising goal of £1 million. Each project aims to engage a network of supporters to help spread the word and generate as much money for famine aid to the crisis in East Africa as possible. 10 projects are already live - we hope to develop at least 5 more here in NYC on the weekend of September 23-25.

In collaboration with our sponsors, application monitoring solution AppFirst, and newly launched co-working space Grind, we're bringing folks from the startup and development community together with designers and marketers to develop and launch at least 5 fundraising projects over the course of one weekend.

Join us at Grind (419 Park Ave) on Friday, September 23 at 6pm to kick off the Hackathon.

Registration for the event is available here: http://faminehackathon-PC.eventbrite.com. It is free, but space is limited, so registration is required.
