Atlanta – October 22, 2009 . TechBridge, a nonprofit dedicated to helping other nonprofits use technology to better serve our community, is pleased to announce the date for its 2010 annual fundraising event, the TechBridge Digital Ball. The gala is planned for Saturday, May 8, 2010 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. The occasion will mark ten years for the signature gala that draws a who’s who crowd from Atlanta’s technology and business communities and celebrates the impact of philanthropy and technology on the Atlanta community. Themed ‘Decade, Celebrating Momentum’ the 2010 black-tie event emphasizes the impressive work of TechBridge’s nonprofit clients and salutes the role the technology community plays in helping them more effectively accomplish their missions. For the 10th time in as many years Accenture will serve as the Digital Ball’s presenting sponsor. Also, as the founding sponsor of the NPower Network, Microsoft has once again committed to a marquee sponsorship. Additionally, The Coca-Cola Company and First Data have each renewed their Terabyte sponsorship levels for the 2010 Digital Ball. The event is anticipated to attract more than 75 corporate sponsors for this special tenth year celebration. TechBridge is also pleased to announce that the 10 th annual Digital Ball will be co-chaired by Cindy Tierney, SVP and CIO, Beazer Homes USA, Inc. and Dave Barnes, SVP and CIO, UPS. “I’m committed to the TechBridge mission because I’ve seen first-hand how technology and the TechBridge team can improve the effectiveness of a nonprofit organization and ultimately make a positive impact on our community,” said Tierney. “Funds raised by the Digital Ball represent more than half of TechBridge’s operating budget and allows them to provide exceptional technology services for significantly subsidized rates,” adds Barnes. “The Digital Ball is a great way to bring together the technology and business communities for a common cause.” Joining Ms. Tierney and Mr. Barnes to oversee planning and preparation for what has become the not-to-be-missed event within Atlanta’s business and technology communities are: - Heather Barclay, Savvis – Co-Chair, Sponsorship Committee “Given the tenth anniversary excitement, the continued generosity of Atlanta area corporations and the limited space available for the 2010 event, we expect this year’s Digital Ball to sell out quickly,” said Kathleen Kurre, CEO, TechBridge. “We’re planning an exclusive and highly memorable event and we encourage companies to get involved soon so they can be part of this special celebration and exciting opportunity to network with Atlanta’s technology and business leaders while helping nonprofits harness the power of technology.” About TechBridge # # # # Contact Information: |
