SUMMARY:Wyncode’s Pitch Day XVIII #AfterIrma
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special MiamiTech #AfterIrma benefit at Wyncode’s Pitch Day XVIII on October 19th benefiting Shake-A-Leg Miami. Wyncode has been a proud member of the Miami tech community for over 3 years. This is our home\, and like you\, we felt the effects of Hurricane Irma to our core. The city of Miami is our family\, and when our family needs help we will be there to lend a hand.\nSo please join us as we turn our famous Pitch Day into MiamiTech #AfterIrma with Special Guest Shake-A-Leg at Wyncode’s Pitch Day XVIII. We’re calling in all our closest friends to join us as we raise money prior to the evening to help rebuild #afterIrma. Our goal is to help raise funds for much-needed support in the Miami area.\nShake-A-Leg Miami is a non-profit organization that utilizes boats to help disabled kids\, veterans\, and adults with physical\, developmental\, and economic challenges interact with the marine world.\nDuring Hurricane Irma\, Shake-A-Leg lost 13 boats after another boat in the marina became loose and caused damage to the dock and nearby boats. Fewer boats mean fewer opportunities for individuals to experience the freedom and joy of learning how to sail.\nWyncode\, Florida’s premier coding bootcamp\, invites you to join our 18th Pitch Day event in Miami. After an intense 10 weeks\, Wyncoders have poured their lives into their work\, harnessing new skills and becoming web developers in the process. You will witness our new soon to be Wyncode alumni present their skills through their final projects.\nYou may discover that learning to code will open the doors to the opportunities you are seeking. You might also meet your Co-Founder or that dream developer you have been looking for. Make sure you bring your best networking swag and don’t miss out on this exciting event.\nThis event is open to the public.
