Computers For Youth PC Drive
ATTENTION TECHNOLOGY LAW SECTION MEMBERS
“Don’t Throw Out Your Old Computer Systems!” Change a child’s life forever: Donate your old computer systems to low-income Georgia school children …you’ll help raise academic performance, protect the environment, and ease your tax pain. We’ll take care of ALL the details, including data-wiping each hard drive. We are asking members to donate the computer systems being replaced in their law firms and companies to Computers for Youth - Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Call to action: Please contact the IT department in your law firm or company and arrange to make CFY-Atlanta the designated recipient of computers whenever they are phased out of service in your firm or company! We ask that you also make a cash donation of $5 per computer to help defray the cost of refurbishment and software licenses. CFY-Atlanta needs 900 donated computers in 2009 to meet its commitments to school children this year alone!
Computer equipment donations to CFY-Atlanta are an investment in your community:
- Academic performance of children participating in CFY’s program has been shown to rise in documented research studies
- Computer equipment is handled in a secure and environmentally responsible manner.
- You’ll get a CHARITABLE TAX DEDUCTION for the value of the donated equipment.
- All hard drives are wiped clean of existing data using commercially available data-wiping software that complies with U.S. Department of Defense cleaning and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. Save your IT department the burden!
For further information regarding donation of computers, please contact Richard Hicks, Director, Computers for Youth at RHicks@cfy.org or call 404-367-9900.
The Technology Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia is committed to encouraging public service within its membership. This PC Drive program is offered in the highest tradition of that commitment. For information regarding this program, contact CFY PC Drive TaskForce at CFYSupport@mindspring.com or email the Technology Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia at info@technologybar.org.
