Giving back is always in style

Last Thursday, we wrapped up the 3rd annual Tech Gives Back campaign in the SF Bay Area at Nerdwallet's fantastic new headquarters at 901 Market St. With over 350 people in attendance, It was a great night of celebrating the successes of the 50+ startups and tech companies involved in raising donations for SF Goodwill and SF Food Bank.

There were delicious appetizers for general attendees generously donated by Freshroll and Guerilla Catering, and Chewse sponsored a three course passed tasting menu which included paired drinks for the Tastemaker Lounge, to which company organizers all got in for free. Oh Snap! Booth Co. was also there to capture the event, so of course we could not miss out on the opportunity to get some fun shots in with our volunteers! 

OrgOrg was thrilled to join on as a co-organizer for the Tech Gives Back campaign this year. We have such a vibrant community, and it just feels right to give back towards the neighborhood so many of us live and work in. Check out how many OrgOrg companies were involved with the campaign!
