“As a company, we wanted to provide a concerted effort to help our friends and neighbors make it through this COVID-19 pandemic. Partnering with the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation felt like a natural fit as we want to help all children have the best opportunity for a quality education during these tough times,” said Jennifer Mellor, COO.

Road Machinery is joining the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation's community laptop drive, a community effort to collect laptops that are no longer needed and can be refurbished and provided to students who do not have devices at home. The laptop drive is being held in collaboration with Data Doctors to provide a safe and simple way for computers to be donated.

Types of Laptops Accepted:

• Data Doctors will accept any working or non-working laptops, Chromebooks, netbooks, iPads and chargers;
• Working laptops will receive a secure hard-drive wipe so that no personal information will be left;
• Non-working laptops can still be used for parts and are welcomed as donations;
• Anything that does not function and cannot be repurposed will be responsibly recycled.

Donating is Simple, Risk-Free:

• Data Doctors will wipe your hard drive and refurbish the laptop. If you would prefer to keep your hard drive and donate just the laptop, that is fine, too.
• The laptop will be distributed to a student in need. Your donation will change the trajectory of that student's educational journey.
