Hi everyone! I just found out the non-profit school I volunteer at on the weekends is having a 24-hour fundraising drive and it ends at midnight tonight.

Anyway, I teach kids programming on the weekends at a non-profit school in San Diego. It’s super fun, and I enjoy giving back to the community and future generations.

After 9 years, the school has reached maximum capacity and is looking to expand to a second location near the new Downtown San Diego library, get new equipment, and increase the scholarship coverage rate from 20% to 50%. Also, if we successfully get the Downtown location funded, I might get to teach the kids Ruby instead of Java :)

I would super appreciate it if you would consider making a tax-deductible donation here: https://givelocal15.org/#npo/the-league-of-amazing-programmers

Hear what the kids have to say about the school here: https://vimeo.com/113855340

Finally, more information about the school here (also the place to go if you miss the midnight deadline): http://www.jointheleague.org

Thanks for reading this, and I hope you will consider donating. Even $25 can help change a child’s life in a positive way. :)
