Give up your old computers for a great cause!

Let’s give back for a great cause!

Just a reminder that at our upcoming Holiday Happy Hour event IT4Causes will be working with Tech for Troops to hold a computer equipment donation drive on November 24th 2015 at the Tin Pan Restaurant and Listening Room 5 -9pm. Join us for an exciting event of FUNdraising and networking accompanied by the smooth tunes of the CJ Wolfe trio from 7-9pm and happy hour food and drink specials, as well as a 50/50 raffle. Please donate your used laptops, desktops, printers/scanners, and flat screen monitors to Tech for Troops to help American veterans transition back to civilian life.

 

Tech for Troops will have professionals remove all information from devices using state of the art data removal. Your old equipment will go to its best possible use after being refurbished and then provided to veterans and the nonprofits that serve them in ways like teaching them technology and to find employment. Donated equipment that can not be reused will be sold for recycling (staying out of landfills) and funds will go to the Tech for Troops Project. All donations of old electronics and cash will be given a tax deductible receipt. Our apologies, CRT monitors will NOT be accepted at this event. Before donating old electronics make sure that you backup data you would like to keep and then delete. http://www.dban.org/ is a helping site for clearing data.

 

We recommend a $10 donation to offset refurbishing costs and help IT4Causes and Tech for Troops Project continue to provide great IT to nonprofits and veterans within the local community. RSVP to the event on Eventbrite. We look forward to seeing you there!
