During these times of uncertainty and solidarity, a lot of courageous heroes in our society have stepped up. From healthcare professionals caring for sick patients to the hard-working individuals working overtime delivering groceries, people are taking on a role in supporting our society when we need it the most.
These selfless people inspire us and we want them to know that we’re in this together. It’s time for us as a community to collaborate and do something positive.
So — we invite you to join us and the global development community in an effort to unite our skills and bring some good to our world. 
Let’s hack for good, together.

About Graphs4Good (GraphHack) 2020
WHAT: any project that has a positive goal and can help others, qualifies.
WHERE: virtually, of course!
WHEN: the world needs us since… yesterday — so, you can start now! We’ll host a showcase of the projects as part of Global Graph Celebration Day 2020 on April 15th (birthday of Leonhard Euler, inventor of graph theory). More info below.
WHY: because the world needs us!
HOW: hack solo or in collaboration with others in the community (friends or ‘strangers’). You can either:

Graphs4Good Project Showcase
On April 15th, (the birthday of the inventor of Graph Theory, Leonhard Euler), we (Neo4j staff) will create a couple of options for contributors to showcase their projects and work.
These are just opportunities to spread the word to the world on what you’ve built, you’re welcome to take any, all, or none of the suggestions. :D
More details will come to you via email (just make sure you register yourself as a hacker!).
