Charm City Make-a-Thon Recap

In early 2017, three-time maker Steph Loughran approached us about bringing the 12-hour make-a-thon to Baltimore, and we were ecstatic!

Baltimore has so much history, important issues that need to be addressed and a vibrant creative community that is willing to do the work.

“In Baltimore, we’re lucky to live in a place with an active design community and so many events for networking. With that concept, we could use our combined talents in a way that will serve a greater purpose. There’s a huge need in this city for volunteers to help make it a better place, and for just one day’s worth of hard work we can assist in a way that will provide dividends for years to come,” said Steph Loughran, Make a Mark Baltimore Site Leader.

Thank you to the amazing Baltimore makers, nonprofits and sponsors for welcoming us to your city and for opening your arms to Make a Mark.

Be sure to watch the videos crafted for the Holistic Life Foundation and Icing Smiles (part 1 and part 2).
