Techweek Chicago, the city’s leading technology conference and festival, created a first-of-its-kind giving campaign, Techweek Gives, that is rallying Chicago’s top tech companies together to make a profound impact on the community.
Hirewell, like all of the participating companies, is donating time, money and goods in the 90 days leading up to Techweek Chicago, which kicks off June 19, 2017. The goal is to raise $1 million and encourage participants to contribute 10,000 volunteer hours to benefit S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and other local nonprofits.
To date, we’ve contributed over $25,000 and nearly 50 volunteer hours. Hirewell is committed to giving back to the community around us, and we are thrilled to join the tech leaders of Chicago in this campaign.
