Do More 24: Like a code sprint for charity
The United Way of the National Capital Area's 24-hour crowdfunding campaign supports local nonprofits.
Supporting area charities is nothing new for the federal IT community, but this week offers the chance for a focused sprint in support of the needy.
June 19 is the date of Do More 24 -- a 24-hour crowdfunding campaign organized by the United Way of the National Capital Area. Last year's Do More 24 raised $1.3 million from some 11,000 donors to support local nonprofits. Unisys Federal Systems President (and 2011 Federal 100 winner) Ted Davies, who chairs the United Way NCA board of directors, is hoping for an even stronger showing this year.
A full calendar of fund-raising events for the 19th can be found on the Do More 24 website, along with details on other ways to support the campaign.
