    I'm so excited to support Hack The Hood. I grew up in East Palo Alto when it was a "hood" and can tell you that programs which give kids a vision of their future without poverty, crime or violence are truly transformational. Thank you Jen...

    We are delighted to make this stream-a-thon possible. We've been enabling Microsoft developers for more than a decade through our conferences and can't wait to meet the future developers that are inspired by Hack the Hood.
