As you know with @CommitYourCode I like to be 100% transparent with EVERYTHING. For #CYC25, A full financial post-mortem is coming soon, but we are supporting three charities this year instead of 2! St. Jude Children's Hospital Operation Kindness and @freeCodeCamp Total ticket sales, tshirts and 100% of all the book sales at CYC AFTER sales tax is $27,588.64. Stripe processing fees were $4,486.90. This left us with a grand total of $23,101.74. Split three ways, this equaled $7,700.58 each! This represents a SIGNIFICANT increase from last year's donations of $5,098.85, which were distributed to only two charities instead of three. Waiting on one final confirmation from FCC so I can send the last of the funds to them for the donation that will go to them. If you went to CYC in person or even hung out virtually, YOU truly helped make this happen. To all of the speakers, YOU made this happen. Thank you. Thank you. THAAAANK YOU. This very moment, knowing how tech and education could make such an impact, THIS is why I wanted to do this conference. This right here has made all the stress and sleepless nights 1000% worth it. Thank you.🙏❤️

Hear what folks have to say about CYC! The @CommitYourCode Conference was everything I was hoping it would be and then some! Just seeing software developers not just talk but TRULY connect with others was incredible. It was a huge tech family reunion! #CYC25
