Hi,
My name is Jacob Edley and I’m a junior at Stevenson High School. I’m doing an impact project through Springboard’s 18 under 18 program where I partnered with PCs for People in order to get computers into the hands of Illinois residents who don’t have computer access.
I was hoping to inform local businesses of an upcoming donation event I am doing. Is it possible for you to pass on the information below to fellow Rotary members? Getting businesses involved with my project can really make a huge difference.
I’m reaching out to you hoping that your company may have used computers or other electronic devices that you can donate to help Illinois residents in need. I’m holding a village-wide donation event at the Community Arts Center (225 McHenry Rd, Buffalo Grove) on Sunday, March 27th from 1-4pm. If you can’t drop off at this time, PCs for People can pick up from you directly at no cost if you have at least 15 computers.
PCs for People is a non-profit that is working with the Connect Illinois Computer Equity Network project to refurbish and distribute these devices. PCs for People employs a number of methods, such as proper data sanitation and a no landfill policy, to ensure the donated computers are put to good use and your company’s information is secure.
If you plan to attend my event at the Community Arts Center, please RSVP here.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Jacob Edley
