An Event Apart Gives Thanks

December 27, 2011

As An Event Apart concludes our final show of 2011, we’re looking back over the previous year with a sense of awe and gratitude. All six shows in 2011 sold out, our speakers and audience have consistently blown us away, and our 2012 lineup is looking just as strong. Six years ago, we couldn’t have imagined being where we are now.

To show our gratitude for our continued good fortune, we’ve once again donated $5,000 to Computers for Youth (CFY), a non-profit foundation whose mission is “to help students in low-income communities, together with their teachers and families, harness the power of digital learning to improve educational outcomes.”

We made a donation to Computers for Youth in 2010, and our reason for doing so again this year is just the same as it was: because education is the very essence of our community. Ours is a profession of constant learning, and the best way to face that lifelong challenge is to adopt the learning habit early in life. Computers, being such powerful learning tools, should be available to every child, and CFY does all it can to make that a reality. An Event Apart continues to support the mission of Computers for Youth, and we continue to thank all our teachers.

If you feel the same, please consider making a donation to CFY or to the charity of your choice in this season of giving.
