Citrix and “Power IT Down Day” Partners to Donate to the Wounded Warrior Project

Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) announced today that the
“Power IT Down Day” alliance of Citrix, Microsoft, Intel
(NASDAQ:INTC) and HP (NYSE:HPQ) will underscore their commitment to
the August 27 energy awareness event by making a financial donation
of at least $20,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project. This donation
serves as a tangible reminder of the money that could be saved –
and put to good use – when government and industry “power down”
their IT equipment.
“We are honored to be selected for this year’s Power IT Down
Day,” said the Wounded Warrior Project Executive Director, Steve
Nardizzi. “Citrix and its industry partners have created an
excellent tool to raise awareness about green IT and responsible
energy consumption while helping the Wounded Warrior Project in our
mission to honor and empower wounded warriors.”
The second annual Power IT Down Day, scheduled for August 27 of
this year, encourages individuals in government and industry to be
responsible energy consumers by turning off computers, monitors,
printers and electronic devices at the end of the business day. On
the first Power IT Down Day, over 2,800 government and industry
employees pledged their participation and conserved more than
37,000 kilowatt-hours.
“We believe in the importance of the individual’s impact on
energy conservation and the resulting cost savings,” said Tom
Simmons, Citrix area vice president for Government Systems. “We
also believe in the good work being done by the Wounded Warrior
Project to assist our country’s severely injured service men and
women – an important effort which also began with the inspired
actions of a few individuals. We’re proud to leverage Power IT Down
Day to help support this amazing organization.”
The Wounded Warrior Project provides support for the nation’s
severely wounded military personnel, helping them on the road to
healing, both physically and mentally. Unique, direct programs and
services help to meet the needs of these service members, and the
organization works tirelessly to raise awareness and enlist the
public’s aid to address the needs of our severely injured
troops.
