2nd Annual 24 Hour All Volunteer Design-A-Thon

July 21, 2011 No Comments by Jessica Murray

I’m so excited to be planning the 2nd Annual 24 hour all-volunteer Design-a-thon in Nashville, on August 6th-7th at CoLab Nashville.

Our 2010 event brought more than 30 of Nashville’s most creative professionals and we wanted to continue the social good we started, by selecting a local nonprofit to help this year.  Our volunteers even wrote this amazing case study to help capture the story and best practices, with hopes more cities will duplicate the effort and help a nonprofit in their local community.

Safe Haven Family Shelter is our beneficiary for our 2011 Design-A-Thon, and almost 30 design, marketing, copy, web dev volunteers will be gathering to create new marketing collateral, website and strategy for them.  I’m blogging on GeekforGood.net for everything related to the Design-A-Thon & where you can meet all our volunteers.

We’ll be liveblogging the event on August 6th or you can follow the conversation on the #Designathon hashtag on Twitter.
