Under the Sidnet Donations initiative, our monthly financial support goes to projects and public benefit organizations that are close to our hearts. This time the choice belonged to Marcin Tabaka, who decided that we would support the Cancer Fighters Foundation and the Django REST Framework.
Happy thirteen
There are employees and there are EMPLOYEES – Marcin Tabaka recently celebrated his thirteenth anniversary of employment at Sidnet and during this time he has become known as an excellent Lead Full Stack Developer who not only contributed to many project successes in our company but also had a significant impact on its development as a whole.
Described by his colleagues as the life of the party, he spreads a positive attitude and encouragement – nothing is impossible for him. He is a real team player… until a board game appears on the table – then the competitive spirit comes out of Marcin.
Django – freedom and convenience
Every month, we support one open source project – this time we chose an add-on to the Django framework – Django REST Framework. Marcin has been working with Django technology for years and is so closely associated with it that he already chose it as a beneficiary of our donation a year ago. This time, due to the frequent use of the DRF tool to conveniently create APIs in applications, Marcin decided to narrow down the selection.
Cancer Fighters Foundation – because you can win the fight against cancer!
Marcin’s loved ones struggled with cancer in the past, so his choice of a public benefit organization is not surprising. The Wrocław-based Cancer Fighters Foundation supports both adults and children battling cancer. Marek Kopyść, the founder who himself won the fight against cancer, wants to remind people that cancer is not a death sentence – it is just an opponent that can be defeated!
The Foundation supports its beneficiaries in many ways. For example, it offers much-needed material support, but also psychological and organizational assistance to make life easier for those struggling with cancer on all possible levels.
Together we can do more – you can also provide support
The aid provided as part of the Sidnet Donations campaign is a drop in the ocean of the needs of charitable organizations. We encourage you to support the organization also on your own – you can do it in several ways:
- Direct donation via the Foundation’s website.
- Joining the volunteer team.
- Transferring 1.5% of the tax to the National Court Register number 0000581036.
- Participating in Cancer Fighters social media, e.g. on Instagram.
- Involving your company in activities supporting the Foundation, e.g. fundraising.
Next month, we will share two more organizations that will receive #SidnetDonations from us – see you soon!
