DATE CORRECTION: Geeks Who Give Game Night is April 2, not tonight

In this week's Agenda section, Lauren Friedman writes about Geeks Who Give, a group of people who are putting their brain power to much better use than updating their Twitters every hour. (Well OK, they do that too. They've got enough brain power to Tweet and be philanthropic.) Here's their shtick:

DATE CORRECTION: Geeks Who Give Game Night is April 2, not tonight

In this week's Agenda section, Lauren Friedman writes about Geeks Who Give, a group of people who are putting their brain power to much better use than updating their Twitters every hour. (Well OK, they do that too. They've got enough brain power to Tweet and be philanthropic.) Here's their shtick:

For its second event, GWG is partnering with Philadelphia Futures, a local nonprofit that provides high school students with adult mentors and academic support. The cost of entry will be one thumb drive or a packet of school supplies for the students, and GWG hopes that attendees will consider becoming mentors — Philadelphia Futures will have staff and applications on hand.

"It's really easy to drink some drinks and do some good," LaFleur says. "And geeks party harder than anyone I know."

Unfortunately, in the paper, we listed this as taking place tonight, from 6-9 p.m. That is totally wrong. Geeks Who Give Game Night is on April 2, 6-9 p.m. Our bad entirely.
