Goodie Marketing + Prototyping Hackathon to #HackCancer #HackSTDs  

Friday, June 8th - Sunday, June 10th, 2018 

Here’s the deal. Way too many people in the United States are affected by cancer and STDs each year. But Goodie Impact Pre-Accelerator: Hack Cancer + STDs is meant to change that. It is a 3-month program where founders see their ideas about ways to help those currently or potentially affected by cancer or STDs get turned into reality.

This hackathon, Phase II in the pre-accelerator, is a 48 hour experience where UI/UX designers, digital marketers, web designers, PR/communication specialists, and graphic designers donate their talent, and join the teams of these founders in an effort to turn their ideas to combat cancer or STDs into clickable prototypes, digital advocacy campaigns, landing pages, logos, and plans to get to their first 100 users or 1000 social media users/email list subscribers.

This is your chance to help those impacted by cancer or STDs, and possibly win money. It’s a mashup of social good, tech, entrepreneurship and highly-skilled people, and, quite possibly, the coolest community service project you’ll ever experience. Register and join our community of changemakers today!

Prizes: $2,000+ will be given away

Judges: Jenn Downs (Atlanta Tech Citizens), Boniface Chege (Sr Staff Technical Product Manager - User Experience Lead @ General Electric), Eileen Lee (The Lola), Dhane Scotti (McCann Worldwide), Chris Markl (Social Entreprenuership @ Georgia State), and Alison Doerfler (HandsOn Network)
