Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale
technology distributor, today announced that its Consumer
Electronics business unit (IMCE) has donated 120 gently used Intel®
Pentium® 4 computers and more than 100 backpacks filled with school
supplies to two local organizations in need.
The computers will go to Arizona StRUT, a local nonprofit
organization that teaches high-risk students to refurbish old
computers. The Intel Pentium 4 computers will be rebuilt by the
students and later donated to other educational programs in need of
technology, such as school districts. Arizona StRUT's program helps
prepare students for a career in technology and teaches teamwork
and accountability to participants.
The backpacks, which were filled with school supplies by Ingram
Micro associates, will go to students from the low-income Balsz
School District, via United Way. IMCE also donated additional
supplies for teachers, prizes for student giveaways, 13 boxes of
multipurpose paper, and a microwave for school use. The backpacks
and supplies were funded by a series of five "Casual for a Cause"
days, in which Ingram Micro associates could donate either five
dollars or a pre-approved school supply in exchange for a casual
dress day.
The associate-driven donation efforts reflect the professional
and personal enthusiasm Ingram Micro has for continually giving
back to the local community, according to Thomas Bamrick, executive
director and general manager, Ingram Micro Consumer
Electronics.
"Social responsibility is a core value at Ingram Micro, and our
IMCE associates strive to make a positive influence and lasting
impact in our local communities through efforts such as these,"
says Bamrick. "Ingram Micro is honored to support these
organizations and give back to the cities where our associates live
and work."
The IMCE business unit is based in Scottsdale, Ariz. IMCE is the
distribution partner of choice for CE-focused retailers and
resellers throughout the U.S. Supported by a dedicated team of
specialized marketing, sales and technical experts, Ingram Micro
