GTA Children To Receive 100 Free Computers June 12th

29. May, 2008 12 Comments   

Little GeeksOver the past several months, the Little Geeks Foundation staff and Board of Directors have worked hard to lay the groundwork to deliver on our mandate: To enhance the lives of children by providing computers to the underprivileged families within our community.

Thanks to the generous donations of the Foundation’s individual and corporate sponsors, I am very excited to announce that on June 12th at 3PM, The Little Geeks Foundation will hold an event and give refurbished computers, complete with Microsoft Windows and Office to 100 families of underprivileged children, free of charge. This event, the first of many to come, is one way the Foundation is reaching toward its 2008 goal of 1,000 PCs delivered to the homes of the families that need them.

This very special event will be held on June 12th from 3PM until 7PM at:

St Andrew’s United Church
117 Bloor Street East
Toronto, Ontario

If you have a child in need of a computer, you can visit the Little Geeks Website to register. Once qualified, recipients will be contacted by a member of the Little Geeks staff to attend this event and pickup their free computer. NOTE: Don’t forget to register, you must register to be qualified to receive a computer.

Recipients of our computers are screened and selected in advance for the event, but media and supporters of Little Geeks are also invited to attend this event to learn more about our Foundation’s mission and the environmental and social roles The Little Geeks Foundation serves within our community.

See you June 12th!
-Ben

    The reason for this note is I was told by my daughter that I could probely receive a computer for the grandchildren. I have three in Charlotte, nc where i am. And there is one in Alaska. I am very mush interested in for them to have one for schooling and fun. I dont see the registion form in order to apply. So I through I would send a note and pray for a responds from someone.
    Thank you for your time.
