What 25 Means to Me

Celebratory Gift Project

About

This year, the Computers for Schools Plus (CFS+) program is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Over the course of the program, more than 1.5 million computers have been distributed, at little to no cost, to schools, libraries and community organizations across Canada.

In honour of its 25th year, we are inviting all affiliates to participate in a creative project. Participants will take inspiration from the theme “What 25 means to me!” to propose celebratory gifts built using recycled computer parts. These gifts will be engraved and given to donors at the National and provincial levels.

Proposals may be submitted by individuals or teams, and each affiliate may send as many proposals as they like.

Time frame:

Proposals should be submitted to Julie Brouard by June 29, 2018
Gifts should be produced and sent to Julie Brouard by August 31, 2018
