### Indie Charity Weekend: A Fresh Venture for a Noble Purpose
This weekend signals the introduction of **Indie Charity Weekend**, a creative initiative led by acclaimed app creator **Will Bishop**. From November 16 to 17, 2023, all proceeds from 23 participating applications will be donated to charities selected by their developers. This effort seeks to leverage the indie app community’s strength to positively influence various charitable organizations.
#### A Legacy of Generosity
Will Bishop is well-acquainted with charitable endeavors. In early 2020, he orchestrated app fundraisers to aid victims of the catastrophic Australian wildfires, successfully raising more than $3,000. His dedication to philanthropy has motivated many within the tech sphere, and this latest initiative exemplifies his commitment to effecting change. Documentation of donations from previous fundraisers has been publicly shared, enhancing the transparency and integrity of his initiatives.
#### Featured Apps and Beneficiaries
The **Indie Charity Weekend** showcases a varied selection of apps, each benefiting a unique cause. Some of the prominent charities supported during this weekend include:
– **Make A Wish**: An organization that fulfills wishes for children with severe illnesses, providing them with hope and happiness during tough times.
– **St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital**: A leading facility in children’s treatment and research, St. Jude is devoted to treating and conquering childhood cancer and other life-threatening ailments.
– **American Cancer Society**: A national organization focused on eradicating cancer through research, education, advocacy, and patient support services.
