On September 5, the Loyalty Foundation joined with Pamelas Big Heart Foundation in Yonkers to distribute 100 free refurbished Chromebook laptops to young students in need during Pamelas Back to School Bazaar at Yonkers Arts “It was great to see all the smiles and to know that all these children will have their very own computers to kick of the school year on the right foot.” – Loyalty Foundation founder David Neeman. The joint distribution was our third and brings the total number of computers provided to Yonkers youth to 250 laptops and 10 tablets. Each of the 100 computers being donated was previously reserved by a student. A sign-up sheet for K-12 students in need of a computer was provided at the event for our next laptop distribution.
