The Center for Epilepsy & Seizure Education is a non-profit organization devoted to providing outreach, client support, and epilepsy awareness in the community. They strive to provide the highest quality programs to benefit people from diverse backgrounds while providing increased services to those who live with or are affected by epilepsy.

They deliver education programs that maintain a flow of information to the public, government and community agencies, schools, and medical professionals surrounding epilepsy. In order to increase their services, they were in need of a laptop for their staff members. This device will be used to create more awareness and document all reports more frequently.

They are dedicated to providing support, information, and education for families and individuals who live with epilepsy, their support staff, educational personnel, friends, co-workers, health care providers and anyone else affected by epilepsy. Their mission is to promote epilepsy awareness and provide education and resources to all who need it!

Their goals are as follows;

  • To educate children and adults who witness a seizure not to be afraid and to provide them with the essential information and first aid skills that will furnish them with the self-confidence to correctly manage a seizure.
  • To minimize the social stigma for children and individuals who live with epilepsy.
  • To ensure there is access to support, education materials, and programs that will enhance self-care and quality of life for those who live with epilepsy.
  • To establish and deliver education programs that will maintain a flow of information to the public, government and community agencies, schools, and medical professionals surrounding epilepsy. These programs will also identify access to support for those affected by epilepsy.

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing ‘digital divide’. For over fifteen years, ERA has offered simple solutions to help individuals and organizations prevent operational equipment from premature destruction. With a focus on recovery, refurbishment, and reuse, ERA continuously supplies charitable groups with donated IT equipment while securely managing the retiring IT assets of organizations and individuals across Canada.

We believe that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment we receive, we have securely repurposed hundreds of tons of equipment. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, we have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
