Appcelerator announced today that The Michael J. Fox Foundation is the latest charity to benefit from the upcoming "Hack to Help" all-night Hackathon. The Hackathon is part of Appcelerator's CODESTRONG 2012 Mobile Conference, with the goal of helping charities accelerate their fundraising efforts by tapping into the power of mobile apps. "It's hard to think of a better secret weapon than 500 hackers on your side," said Michael J. Fox. "We're grateful to Appcelerator's Hack to Help for choosing The Michael J. Fox Foundation to benefit from this event."

Join our first-ever Mobile Developer Challenge!  We challenge our 300,000 mobile developers to create some awesome apps and expand the existing Titanium application universe beyond the 40,000 Titanium mobile apps in the wild today. We’ll be awarding over $25,000 in prizes and giving the top two apps the chance to present their app on stage at CODESTRONG 2012 in San Francisco … plus, the top two apps will have the opportunity to pitch their apps to our “VC Panel” at CODESTRONG!
