PNY Family Photo Contest
| Deadline: January 31st, 2009 |
PNY Technologies, Inc. announced that they will donate $100,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as part of the 2008 Thanks and Giving campaign to help find cures for pediatric cancer and other deadly diseases. PNY also unveiled a family photo contest to raise additional money for the hospital.
St. Jude, located in Memphis, Tenn., is the only pediatric cancer research and treatment facility where no child is ever turned away because of the family’s inability to pay. With an average of 5,400 patient visits annually and research findings shared with doctors and scientists worldwide, the hospital depends on corporate and public contributions for it to thrive.
PNY is encouraging parents and customers to donate through its “Let Our Memory Capture Your Memories” photo contest by including donation and contest information in specially marked packages of select SD memory cards and USB flash drives. Parents can submit a favorite photo of their child to the contest and encourage their friends and family to vote for the photo. The program runs through January 31, 2009. PNY will donate $20,000 to St. Jude in the winner’s name.
“PNY is extremely proud to join St. Jude in its efforts to improve the lives of so many families around the world. We’re also very thankful for the healthy children in our lives and believe supporting this outstanding organization is a great way for us to help further their cause,” said Tony Gomez, vice president of sales and marketing for PNY. “Our goal is to raise another $50,000 for St. Jude through the family photo contest. It is also a fun way for parents to share the wonderful childhood memories they have captured on PNY SD cards and USB flash drives.”
