This year, All Star Code is virtually honoring philanthropists Robert F. Smith, founder of Vista Equity Partners, and Marcus Sameulsson, renowned chef and restaurateur.

All Star Code's mission is to provide Black and Brown young men with education and opportunities for success in a technological world. This virtual event will highlight the most innovative Scholar Projects and showcase All Star Code's impact to date, followed by remarks from both honorees, a silent auction, and wrap up with a musical performance by a celebrity guest.

About All Star Code 

All Star Code, a nonprofit organization founded in 2013, empowers boys and young men of color with the skills, networks, and mindsets they need to create new futures through technology. The organization's goal is to close the tech entrepreneurship gap in the United States by developing a pipeline of diverse 21st century leaders. 

Founded by award-winning journalist, Christina Lewis, All Star Code partners with industry-leading companies, including Google, Goldman Sachs, and AT&T, to host their free six-week flagship “Summer Intensive” educational programs in New York City and Pittsburgh, PA. To date, All Star Code has taught coding to over 600 students, with 85 percent intending to major in computer science-related subjects. Profiled by NowThis Money in their “living legends” series, Christina is building on the legacy of her late father, the Wall Street financier Reginald F. Lewis.
