Charitable Donation Opportunities:
A lot of the materials collected at the event are recycled. However, our partner group, Kramden Institute, Inc., collects, refurbishes and donates PCs to less-advantaged students in NC. Kramden is specifically looking for laptops (1GHz or faster with power supply), PCs, LCD displays, laptop and desktop hard drives >= 20 GB, RAM >= 256MB and USB thumb/flash drives. Kramden will be on site to take these donations of eligible equipment and to pull RAM and hard drives from machines that would otherwise not be donated to students through their program. Donors of eligible equipment may receive tax donation receipts. For more information visit www.kramden.org.
