What is a Third-Party Fundraiser?
It is when a business, organization, community group, school or individual plans and hosts a program or an event that benefits Tech for Troops. It may be planned and executed independently of Tech for Troops, but we still want to be involved!
Working Together
We are honored you chose Tech For Troops as the beneficiary of your fundraiser. We can and we are making an impact in the Veteran Community by providing life changing IT education, career/life skills, and free “gifted” laptops to homeless and impoverished Veterans who attend training at our facility. We also represent the Veteran population through our employees, hiring majority Veterans and Veteran/active duty military spouses. Our vision is to turn these computers into Training, Education and Technology for Veterans and their families in need. Working computers can provide a new life to struggling Veterans and their families.
Individuals, organizations, and corporations who request the opportunity to Host an event, we are so very thankful for. Tech for Troops welcomes, greatly appreciates and wants to support requests from YOU the HOST to host fundraisers, special events, sales promotions, donation drives and e-waste drives on behalf of Tech For Troops.
