On Saturday 9th March, <\/b>Make A Mark<\/a> held their New York City Make-a-thon – a 12 hour design and development marathon benefiting\u00a0local humanitarian causes.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Non-profits solve some of our communities biggest problems and their work deserves the best design, marketing and technology. Most non-profits do not have the time, resources or the know how to do so. These things could take just a day to create so, for 12 hours,\u00a0Make a Mark gather the best designers and developers to work on projects for these organizations.<\/p>\n

We were thrilled to be able to sponsor the event, hosted by General Assembly.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeffrey Coleman<\/a> from our team in New York volunteered at the event; helped set up, welcomed and signed in the participants, and importantly made sure everyone was all fed! Throughout the day they enjoyed bagels, Wagamamas, Eisnbergs Sandwich Shop<\/a> and finished the day off with pizza, Red Stripe and wine.<\/p>\n

The fun kicked off at 9am and the teams got straight to work – they’d had orientation calls prior to the event so everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and how to get started. There were also two workshops for the non-profit founders ran by Laura Forshay and Adam Wade.<\/a><\/p>\n

After dinner, the team were able to demo the work they had designed for the non-profit organisations. It was incredible to see how happy everyone was with what the makers had created. It was a truly special moment seeing all the work come together.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey also had the pleasure of learning more about the non-profits in conversations with the founders and also met Make-a-thon’s incredible organizers, (Derya, Ana and Rebecca) as well as the designers taking part.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were so pleased to be part of such a brilliant, inspiring event with wonderful creative people all wanting to make the world a better and brighter place! We look forward to getting involved again next year.<\/p>\n
