2023 September Newsletter

Dear 48in48 Partner,

Welcome to the September edition of the 48in48 newsletter! There are some exciting updates to share about the upcoming Global Event, as 48in48 community members across the globe prepare for a weekend of building, collaborating, and celebrating.

The Global Event volunteer response was overwhelming, with almost 400 volunteers registered and close to 150 on-site at Cox Enterprises. All team members were assigned based on registration and confirmation dates. Volunteers not assigned to a team will be placed on the waitlist. As always, the waitlist is used to fill the spots that open up, so keep an eye out for your email confirmation.

52 nonprofits have already completed their coursework — so I hope you're ready for another amazing kickoff for this hybrid event.

Whether you are onsite or online, we know you will enjoy hearing from our Keynote speaker, Jay Cranman, CEO/President of Hands on Atlanta. We will gather again on Sunday evening to recap the weekend and see the winning websites created during the event.

A huge thank you to Cox Enterprises for sponsoring and hosting our event again this year. In true global fashion, Friday’s post kickoff meal for all the onsite volunteers and guests will include food from Jamaica and India.

We're thrilled to have you as part of this global community. Let's deliver 48 amazing products and show the world what we can create when we come together around a common purpose. I look forward to seeing you online or onsite on next week!

Mark your calendars!

With gratitude,

Sima Parekh

Executive Director
