Nonprofit of the Year and 7 more of your 2017 Rad Awards winners

Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast always has a helluva lot of sweet impact events on deck, and the most celebratory of them is the Rad Awards.

Digital content strategist Leah Kauffman’s annual event spotlights some of the most accomplished and, yes, rad women in Philly, with several categories dedicated to the social impact community.

Here are a few of this year’s winners:

• Nonprofit of the Year — TechGirlz, founded by Tracey Welson-Rossman
