Interop Las Vegas 2011 Supports Las Vegas Public Schools

Interop Las Vegas 2011 selected DonorsChoose.org as its event beneficiary in order to support math and science education in Las Vegas public schools, and a new generation of future IT visionaries. DonorsChoose.org is an online nonprofit that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.

UBM TechWeb and Interop Las Vegas donated over $5000 to selected Las Vegas classrooms.

Thank you to Interop attendees, exhibitors, community members and speakers who made donation and filled out evaluations forms. We couldn’t have done it without you.

DonorsChoose.org grew out of a Bronx high school where teachers experienced first-hand the scarcity of learning materials in our public schools. Charles Best, then a social studies teacher, sensed that many people would like to help distressed public schools, but were frustrated by a lack of influence over their donations. He created DonorsChoose.org in 2000 so that individuals could connect directly with classrooms in need.

Our mission is to improve public education by empowering every teacher to be a change-maker and enabling any citizen to be a philanthropist. Our vision is a nation where students in every community have the resources they need to learn.
