Black Girls Code seeks to increase the number of women of color in digital careers, starting with 7-14 year olds.

The campaign to support their “summer of code” ends in just a few days and they are almost half way to their goal.

Blazing Cloud is pledging up to $1,000 as matching funds if employees or anyone in our community (teachers, students, TAs, or anyone who has worked with us in the past) gives to this campaign before Wednesday, July 11 @ 11:59pm PST.

We believe that a small contribution from our organization, our sponsors and our teachers can make a big impact. A shining example of this effect is Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls Code.
