AT&T and Human-I-T joined forces with the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows today to provide laptops and backpacks to local students on Friday.
The event took place art the Donald L. Carano Youth & Teen Facility in Reno.
The distribution is part of a broader AT&T employee effort to help bridge the digital divide and equip 20,000 students across the country with laptops and backpacks as they head back to school.
In addition to supplies like notebooks, pencils and headphones, the backpacks included cards of encouragement written by AT&T employees.
“The impact of contributions, such as this from AT&T and Human-I-T for laptops and backpacks, goes beyond anything we can measure,” said Mike Wurm, President/CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows.
AT&T is committing $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected to high-speed internet by the year 2030.
