Hacking for the Holidays - Donor Thank You Event 4:30

Campaign Highlights:
We want to say thank you for donating to help support our 2025 Hacking for the Holidays Campaign making play accessible for kids with disabilities. Together, we raised over $140,000 and delivered 3,944 toys and switches for kids with disabilities across Canada. With 256 events hosted in every province and over 7,000 volunteers engaged, your support is making a real difference in giving the gift of play to kids with disabilities.

We are thrilled to invite you to a special private Buildathon event in appreciation of your generous support during our Hacking for the Holidays campaign. Thanks to the combined efforts of our BNI community—including Nate’s group and many other dedicated BNI members—we reached and surpassed our campaign goals!

Event:

This event will give donors the opportunity to walk through a toy and switch adaption with Makers Making Change staff. Members will be given the opportunity to solder and test out their adaptive device. Devices will then be donated to members in the community. Light snacks and refreshments will be available.
