Company announces statewide donation at CA
World bike ride, emulating late night talk show host
CA WORLD ’15 - As CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) closes out its
annual CA World event in Las Vegas, the company’s CEO, Mike
Gregoire, announced at a Lake Mead bike event that CA will fund all
existing high-need science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
DonorsChoose.org teacher requests in Nevada. These are the highest
poverty schools in the state, where at least 40% of the student
population is eligible for free or reduced lunch. The $100,000
contribution was inspired by The Late Show host and
DonorsChoose.org Board of Director Stephen Colbert, who funded all
South Carolina DonorsChoose.org teacher requests earlier this
year.
DonorsChoose.org, a CA Technologies nonprofit partner, is an
online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in
need. Public school teachers can post requests, and individuals can
give to projects of their choice. Through the CA Technologies
Double Your Impact STEM Campaign with DonorsChoose.org, the
company has already assisted more than 15,000 students in high-need
schools.
“We are proud to partner with DonorsChoose.org to help advance
STEM learning in Nevada schools,” said Gregoire. “CA and its
employees have a long history of giving back and we’re excited to
make this donation on behalf of all the participants at our annual
CA World bike ride through the Lake Mead River Course.”
“On behalf of DonorsChoose.org, I’d like to thank everyone at CA
Technologies for their continued support of STEM learning,” said
Charles Best, founder and CEO, DonorsChoose.org. “We truly
appreciate CA’s commitment to helping students realize their
untapped potential, and encouraging the next generation of
technology leaders.”
