The non-profits you'll be helping

​The National Menopause Foundation and the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation are shining a light on two often misunderstood health issues that affect not just women, but the people around them. From partners and children to friends and future caregivers, the ripple effects are real—and often overlooked. Raising awareness about menopause and bone health means clearing up confusion, breaking stigmas, and better supporting the people we love through every stage of life.

What exactly is a hackathon?
It's a dynamic hands-on event where you collaborate with others to develop creative, actionable solutions to real-world challenges, all within a set time frame.

Agenda

This virtual hackathon is split into two dynamic events—each with its own mix of networking, learning, and hands-on collaboration. To get the full experience (and to show up for your team), you’ll want to be at both.

Create a solution that helps connect with digital-native buyers, removes friction and makes self-service buying easier and more engaging for them

Design a campaign that moves the target audience from unaware to emotionally and financially invested in the nonprofit's mission.

Wondering what the marketing challenge will be? We’re keeping it under wraps for now (that’s part of the fun!) , but here’s a peek at past hackathon challenges to get you inspired.

This is not another passive webinar

Hackathons are a learning experience like no other. We not just talking about the challenge, we're rolling up our sleeves and solving for it.

  • Get hands-on with a real-world marketing challenge

  • See how your peers would tackle the challenge
