"As a 100% volunteer organization, this event is a vital fundraiser that we hope will draw new partners into our fold. The funds we raise will support our programs such as ignITe, an upskilling and reskilling program for women in tech, and iLEADinSTEM, a scholarship-based program that introduces girls to science and technology fields."
