About this Event
Campaign Highlights:
We want to say thank you for donating to help support our 2025 Hacking for the Holidays Campaign making play accessible for kids with disabilities. Together, we raised over $140,000 and delivered 3,944 toys and switches for kids with disabilities across Canada. With 256 events hosted in every province and over 7,000 volunteers engaged, your support is making a real difference in giving the gift of play to kids with disabilities.
We are thrilled to invite you to a special private Buildathon event in appreciation of your generous support during our Hacking for the Holidays campaign. Thanks to the combined efforts of our BNI community—including Nate’s group and many other dedicated BNI members—we reached and surpassed our campaign goals!
