RefreshIndy Weekend a Smashing Success

On the weekend of January 14-16 James and Brian headed down to the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis to participate in RefreshIndy to participate in the crazy but meaningful Refresh Weekend. Participating web developers were divided into 4 groups and assigned their non-profit to work with.

We were fortunate to be paired with Anna's Celebration of Life, an Indianapolis non-profit dedicated to helping local kids with disabilities,in memory of the founder's daughter Anna.

They turned out to be a great client to work with, and we had a fun and cohesive team of 6 developers and videographers. In 48 hours we started a website from scratch and ended up with their brand new site.
