What’s it about

We always wanted ColorCloud to be not "just" another tech event, we wanted to do more around it. That's how the ColorChallenge was born - our big charity event! 🥳

With ColorChallenge we want to combine our big passion - color - with doing something good. It all started by asking people from the community:
 
"What would it take for you to color your hair to make the event brighter?"

It's was Carl Cookson who came up with the following bet:

"If you can raise 1000 € for a charity of my choosing, I will dye my hair in a color of your choosing!"

Genius! As soon as word got out, more people wanted in on this and here we are! We proudly present to you the 10 MVPs and Microsofties who have committed to this. Some didn't like hair dye - we are choosing a colorful tattoo for them. 😁

🎯 GOALS REACHED - Everybody is happy with new color and tattoos 🥳

The participants - unlock them each in order by 1000€ (really only 500€ because of donation matching, see below):

This is so awesome and we are very proud to have gathered this group of amazing human beings 🤩 And they really selected worthy charities to support, make sure to check them out on the right hand side!

This all made us to decide that we wanted to help as well, ColorCloud 🌈 is a non profit event so we want to contribute to this as well as we can. That's why ColorCloud 🌈 is pledging to match donations until we reached the goal of 10.000€ 🥳 

This is how it will work:
  • The participants are in a fixed order and are being unlocked by 1000€ donations each
  • The more participants we unlock, the more people we get to dye and the more colorful the speakers at ColorCloud 🌈 will look like!
  • ColorCloud 🌈 will match new donations as soon as donations reach 500€ for a participant and will donate the next 500€

We also want to give a special shoutout to CRMK who are sponsoring everybody's hair dye and tattoos 🧑‍🎤✒️  thanks so much for that, you truly rock! https://www.crmkonsulterna.se/in-english/

You want to see the results of this live? There are still tickets on sale for ColorCloud in Hamburg on April 18th & 19th!
