Celebrating Innovation and Impact at Tech the Halls
Tech the Halls is our holiday event where we thank all those who have supported our cause and contributed to our efforts to fight poverty with technology. It’s our way of acknowledging the many employees, students, sponsors, golfers, instructors, volunteers, mentors, board members, and nonprofits who make it possible for us to further our mission and increase our social impact.
What an incredible evening at Tech the Halls, and thanks to our host, Microsoft! We gathered with you to celebrate the collective impact of our work and the power of technology to transform lives—from fighting hunger and homelessness to empowering communities through workforce development and social justice initiatives.
This special night was a powerful reminder of the incredible things we can accomplish when technology leaders and change makers unite for a common purpose.

We also took time to honor the success of this year’s Tee IT Up for TechBridge golf tournament, a testament to the collaboration and generosity of the tech community in driving meaningful change. Together, we raised an incredible $180K. These funds support our mission of leveraging technology to combat hunger, homelessness, social justice inequities, and workforce barriers.
One of the night’s most anticipated moments was the presentation of the Sig Mosley Entrepreneurial Leader Award to Wain Kellum, a visionary whose career serves as a beacon of entrepreneurial excellence.
With an impressive three-decade career, Wain has founded and led multiple successful companies, including exits with Microsoft and HP, and has served as a leader and investor in over a dozen growth-oriented software businesses.
Congratulations, Wain! Your remarkable achievements inspire the next generation of tech leaders and entrepreneurs.
