Ingram Micro Teams With Manufacturer and Reseller Partners to Give
Back to Freret Neighborhood
NEW ORLEANS, LA--(Marketwired - May 9, 2014) - Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale technology distributor,
today announced it teamed with associates, manufacturer and
reseller partners to clean and beautify the historic Freret
Neighborhood. Coordinated with local organization Neighborhood
Housing Services and the Freret Neighborhood Center, the 2014
Spring IMOne Gives Back project, affectionately called "The Great
Uptown Tune Up," brought together more than 400 volunteers from the
IMOne event and local residents to assist with front yard
improvement projects, street clean ups, painting tasks and other
community beautification efforts at the local cemetery, playgrounds
and schools.
"At Ingram Micro, we strive to give back to the communities in
which we work, and this effort is a reflection of that," says Paul
Bay, senior executive vice president and president of Ingram Micro
North America. "With our inaugural IMOne event taking place in New
Orleans, it was a perfect opportunity to work with our partners to
serve this community."
Ingram Micro's 2014 Spring IMOne event is taking place this week
in New Orleans and includes technology solution providers and
manufacturer partners from five distinct Ingram Micro partner
communities, including Venture Tech Network (VTN), SMB Alliance,
Healthcare, Public Sector Elite and System ArchiTECHs.
"We are so excited to welcome the volunteers from Ingram Micro
into the Freret and Milan neighborhoods," says Eva Sohl, director
of the Freret Neighborhood Center. "There are ample issues that
need to be addressed in this area, and we couldn't do it without
the help of devoted and hardworking volunteers. We are grateful for
the generosity of Ingram Micro and its employees, and feel
incredibly fortunate to be part of the area of focus for this
project."
The 2014 Spring IMOne Gives Back project was made possible in
part by the generous support of Ingram Micro's manufacturer
sponsors AddOn Computer, Cisco and IBM. Images from the evening's
activities can be found online under the hashtag #IMOne2014 and on
