Montreal – June 12, 2006 – Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI) is happy to announce an exciting new program in support of three education-related foundations, to take place at this year’s NECC Conference being held in San Diego, CA on July 4-7.

Like LCSI, all three foundations – DonorsChoose, OpenWorld Learning and Virtue Foundation –support educational initiatives that bring technology and students together to develop creative and inventive learning opportunities. In order to show their support of these foundations, LCSI will donate $5 for each conference attendee that comes to either of the two LCSI booth locations (#1728 and #1900) and takes part in a product demonstration. The attendee will then be able to choose one of the three organizations and have a donation made on their behalf. The goal of this exciting program is to raise both money for and awareness of the issue of technology and learning and ensure that students worldwide have access to all the necessary tools.

“We are thrilled to work with these three innovative foundations who support what LCSI so clearly believes in – the close connection between technology and learning, “says Susan Einhorn, President of LCSI. “Working together to create opportunities for students is what NECC is all about and ensuring that all students from all backgrounds have the best resources is something we are happy to be a part of.”

“A peaceful world is a world with less disparity and more opportunity, and the path to end global poverty starts with education. To empower our children to become leaders of tomorrow, we need to provide them with an education platform that answers the challenges of the 21st century and incorporates the proper technology,” says Dr. Joseph Salim, President & Executive Director of Virtue Foundation.
