We are excited to announce that we have selected the four St. Louis area charities for our 9th annual Mike Mullen Day celebration on May 18th, at Alpha Brewing Co. This year's recipients are: CHADS Coalition for Mental Health, Little Patriots Embraced, New Dimensions Soccer, and Saving G.R.A.C.E. (Giving Rescue Animals Chances Everyday). Here is a brief description of the fantastic charities. More information will be provided in the months to come.

Thanks to Alpha Brewing Co for hosting our first annual Ron Z tech grant "Totally in the Bags" tournament this November. Together, we raised $4,222.48 for GlobalHack, which will now be able to provide CS First (computer science education) to 8 new schools around St. Louis! — with Lara Kerwin, Chance Grannan, David Lee, Tim Butler, Michael Mullen and Linda Lawson-Mixon at Alpha Brewery Company.
