Third Annual Auction4Kids Fundraising Auction & Gala Announcement
On March 29, 2006, Comp2kids will host its Third Annual Auction4Kids Fundraising Auction & Gala at the Tribeca Rooftop in New York City. As a direct result of the event, we expect to impact the educational future for over 1,000 middle school students in the South Bronx.
Comp2Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization helping to bridge the digital divide for children in underserved New York City public schools. Founded in 2001 by a group of technology professionals, Comp2Kids provides home computers and training for students and teachers at entire inner city schools. Schools in which this program has been implemented have shown:
· Fewer incidence of student misbehavior
· Improved teacher retention
· Increased participation from parents in their child’s educational experience
· Improved grades
· Students staying in school
In May of 2004, Comp2Kids was honored as “New Yorker of the Week” by TV Channel NY1. New York’s Secretary of State Randy Daniels and School Superintendent Joel Klein have recognized Comp2Kids as an “exemplary program” which they strongly support.
Our last Auction4Kids was a huge success, raising over $100,000 and facilitating the distribution of 700 personal computers and hundreds of hours of training to students and teachers at Roberto Clemente Intermediate School in Harlem. Our goal for 2006 is to raise over $200,000 which will be used to establish the Comp2Kids program at Crotona Park West Middle School in the South Bronx.
P.S. To request a copy of the NY1 Comp2Kids segment or a 3-minute video presentation of this year’s computer distribution at Roberto Clemente Intermediate School in Harlem, please contact us at +1 718 772 0657 or via www.comp2kids.org.
