AFFF provides 25 new computers to Fort Gordon school

Freedom Park School

FORT GORDON, Ga. –March 29, 2017

The Armed Forces Families Foundation, a charity organization helping military families in the Southeast U.S., presented Fort Gordon’s Freedom Park School with a check for $14,994 on Wednesday morning.

The majority of the funds donated by AFFF were raised within the Augusta community in conjunction with local Taco Bell restaurants, and has already allowed the school to expand access to new technology within its classrooms. The funds were allocated to cover the recent purchase of 25 new HP ProBook computers, licensing software, hardware support and one LocknCharge computer cart.

Freedom Park School is located on-base at Fort Gordon and has over 700 Pre-K-8^th grade students enrolled, with a vast majority of students coming from military families. The new computers supplement the limited number of classroom computers previously available and are allowing students to learn valuable computer skills, work on school projects, homework, standardized testing and other curriculum needs.

“We’re very excited to help with the purchase of new laptops for Freedom Park School. Having the proper tools in each classroom makes it easier for both teachers and students, and we know these laptops are being put to good use,” said John Wright, a member of the board at AFFF. “At Armed Forces Families Foundation, 100 percent of donations raised go back to the community where they were raised.”
