In just one day, 18 hours and counting, The Nerdery’s third annual Overnight Website Challenge will be underway. Sixteen nonprofit organizations within the Twin Cities have been chosen to have their websites completely revamped within a period of 24 hours – in a row! 160 website developers have agreed to donate their time and talent for this worthy cause.

ReliaCloud is proud to sponsor the Challenge. As a thank you to the nonprofits involved, we have given each of them the opportunity to utilize our cloud servers for free for an entire year.
Keep up with the action on the ReliaCloud Blog as we post video of the Challenge throughout the night.
