All funds raised will go to MacPaw Development Fund to provide Ukrainian defenders with the latest technological solutions for tactical medicine and protective equipment.
The draw will take place on Twitter from June 22nd to June 24th, 2022. On Thursday, June 24th, via random.org, Sergii will choose the winner who gets the pin. To join the raffle, till June 24th at 00:00 (PT) you need:
- to donate any amount to the MacPaw Development Fund
- to reply in this Twitter thread: “ donated + #PinToWin🇺🇦 ”
Why today?
Today, June 22nd is the Day of Sorrow and Remembrance of Victims of War in Ukraine. We honor those who fought for their native country from 1941-1945 and whose lives were taken in WWII. Now, this day has acquired a double meaning. 80 years later, Ukrainians are forced to bravely stand up to the enemy again. And in this fight, Ukraine needs support.
On June 6-10 the annual WWDC22 was held offline for the first time in the last three years. However, the war did not allow most Ukrainian developers to attend this or other international tech conferences. Instead of advancing the technological world, Ukrainians are forced to defend their country, each on their own front. The symbolic pin from WWDC19 became a reminder of a quiet life and freedom in planning the future.
