Chromebooks for Marc Garneau HS Students
Donation protected
Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute, located on Don Mills and Overlea, in Toronto, has 1500 students enrolled in the general stream, of which only 700 have been able to get a school-provided laptop as part of the school's response to COVID-19. The school has been unable to provide a device, despite a continued strong demand, especially as a second wave hits the region.
The school serves two major communities, Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park. Both are low-income communities, with a large population of new immigrants, and at risk children.
We're collecting funds to buy chromebooks/tablets/low-priced laptops to help bridge the gap.
Our current intent is to purchase the following Chromebook model:

All proceeds will be used 100% to purchase these devices.
Currently, we have 4 laptops committed to this initiative, and are hoping to leverage this GoFundMe to collect smaller donations to increase the number of laptops we can provide to the school.
Thank you in advance for your donation, and we would greatly appreciate if you could share the link to this fundraiser to your respective networks, and on Social Media.
Who are we:
Our team is a combination of Ryerson University Entrepreneurship Students who want to put their skills to help address the problems caused by COVID-19, and former Marc Garneau CI Alumni who are looking to give back to their community.
