I wanted to do a post about the GeekGala, one because I am super excited about it, and two because it is vital to support non-profits. To get into this party supplied with food, alcohol, and brilliant people, you need $100. Yeah, I know it is a little steep, but you can deduct it from your taxes as LaunchCode is a 501(c)3 organization. If you are a LaunchCoder, you can get in for $75. Also, if you are super-tight on money AND are affiliated with LaunchCode somehow, you can get in free if you volunteer.
The GeekGala is IMPORTANT because it is a fundraiser for LaunchCode whose mission is to increase job opportunities in technology for individuals lacking a traditional educational background. It is also important because it is a tremendous networking opportunity for job seekers and hiring managers.
Over 400 people will gather at LaunchCode's Mentor Center to celebrate hard-working techies. Support of GeekGala paves the way to life-long careers for passionate, smart, driven aspiring technologists while keeping high-paying jobs in St. Louis.
There will be complimentary food truck eats, open bar, music, learn to code station, photo booth, dancing & more!
It's Thursday, September 26 at The LaunchCode Mentor Center, 4811 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63108, from 6-ish to 11-ish.
