news 28 Posted December 17, 2008 Good Morning All, It's rare that we get the opportunity to give back the community in such a way that truly affects peoples' lives, beyond just a simple door prize or contest trinket. However, In the spirit of the holiday season, we feel fortunate and proud to have been given the opportunity to do something pretty special for three very interesting, cool people we're sure you'll enjoy meeting. Earlier this quarter, we teamed up with Intel, in an effort to hold a very special sort of contest and promotion called "Need A Tech Makeover". The contest allowed us to give back to the community and help out three deserving people whose lives were desperately in need of a technology face-lift. These three lucky winners would each be awarded $5,000 worth of new desktops and notebooks based on Intel Centrino 2 and Core 2 technology, as well as all the required peripherals to take full advantage of all their new computing horsepower. Recently, we announced our three lucky winners, a small town Performing Arts group called Steps Off Broadway, a stage 4 cancer survivor, Christine from South Carolina, and Susan from Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm.

We'd very much appreciate a link in your news to spread the word. This isn't your run-of-the-mill release we're blasting out here. This is a great example of big corporate enterprise (Intel) giving back via the online community we're all a part of. It's a validation for us all and we'd appreciate your support. Best Regards and Happy Holidays, Dave Altavilla and Marco Chiappetta HotHardware.com http://hothardware.com Share this post Link to post
