This gift means a lot to the Hack Club community, and we are grateful for Tom and Theresa’s continued support.
|
||
|
||
In 2014, Hack Club was founded, and Tom joined as Hack Club’s first board member. In the years since, he has contributed open source code, mentored Hack Clubbers 1:1, donated dozens of laptops to teenagers who didn't have access to computers, and been a constant advisor on the Hack Club community, strategy, and product.
|
||
|
||
Tom and Theresa also helped fund [The Hacker Zephyr](https://hack.af/zephyrdoc), an epic, cross-country train hackathon taken by 42 teen hackers in the summer of 2021. Tom even hacked alongside Hack Clubbers onboard.
|
||
|
||
With this gift, we will continue to build the engineering team at Hack Club, including a Tech Lead for [HCB](https://hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship), and new engineers to support clubs, the Hack Club online community, and events.
|
||
|
||
One of our goals in 2022 is to improve Hack Club and to support more teenagers in joining the community. Thank you Tom and Theresa for helping make this possible.
|
||
|
||
We thank Tom and Theresa for their generous gift and will carefully use each cent to advance our mission to create a new generation of young, highly-technical teen leaders capable of solving our world’s greatest problems. Every penny will be spent [transparently](https://hcb.hackclub.com/hq).
