Working Together: Partnering to Give Back with ER2

As an organization, we wholeheartedly believe in turning choices into change. When we heard about the frightening incident that happened to our intern, Peter Kennedy, near a Memphis college campus, we had to do something. Peter, who works with our Partnerships & Programs team, was the victim of a robbery attempt that left his laptop literally shot, but saved his life. We reached out to our network of partners and ER2, a certified and audited electronic recycling company that handles end of life asset management and secure data destruction, immediately stepped up to help! We want to send a special thank you to ER2 for donating a new laptop to Peter and making a positive impact in our community!
