a new year brings new year's resolutions
that one of ours the TechnoBuffalo is to
give back more really fortunate to have
the opportunity to play with the ton of
tech and share it with you partner
responsibility i feel is to give back to
the community
HP reach out to us asked if we wanted to
do a video featuring their new PageWide
series of printers we said yes
absolutely but instead of just doing a
linear video on a printer and uploading
it to youtube we would said wanted to
take a hundred percent of the money that
he was going to sponsor us with and give
everyone on the staff opportunity
sponsor charity of their choice so we
ended up with 10 different charities
each one got a donation of one thousand
dollars before we jump into the
charities and run through everything
that we did I definitely want to make
sure I take a moment to thank the
product that made this entire giving
possible and that's of course the HP
PageWide Printer. HP was really on
board with this idea from day one so
it's kind of cool to see the PageWide
printer which we would generally like my
we agree to the video in the first place
I think for a few reasons, first its forty
percent lower cost to print color crazy
fast speed you can print up to 75 pages
per minute incredible security
environmentally friendly as well use way
less energy than most printers on the
market for example we've got the
PageWide Pro MFP here they're printing out a
ton of things in color that we weren't printing
before sales decks, sponsorship rolls
things that helps with retention that
color just makes things look better
the network connectivity of the HP PageWide
printer is made it super easy
now for the entire office to connect we
started printing out labels and we now
printed out a full editorial calendar
for us actually physically see and i may
or may not have come in after hours and
printed out invitations to my son
holiday party at school because the
color looks really good and it's not very expensive
wanna learn more about HP or the
PageWide Pro series of printers you
definitely should there's a ton of them
they all do really awesome things fast
they're quiet art has NFC built-in
network-enabled hit the link down below
to learn more
the charity that I think is one that's
really near and dear to my family and
that's the prostate cancer foundation
odds are cancer has hit your family in
some way shape or form for me something
that my dad had to deal with
fortunately has made a full recovery
from the cancer is gone so this charity is something
that I want to support perhaps I look
maybe have prostate cancer in the future
I want to make sure that is well-funded
so they were the first one that got a
donation to the charity we all agreed on
with the second harvest food bank so we
went over to costco picked up about four
hundred and fifty dollars of food loaded
into trucks to our local second harvest
that top of that we also gave a 550
dollar donation to help people in need a
little more about any of the cherries
are going to talk about we're going to
leave them down below
next up and you ever pick the Challenged
Athletes foundation you might know
Andrew he's done some on-camera work for us
recently but he's been behind the camera
from with tenure here at TechnoBuffalo about
two years
editing videos the Challenged Athletes
foundation is one that was new to me I
don't know what did but its goal to
provide physically challenged people the
tools you need to first to act as a
healthy lifestyle is advocate for all
levels of physical activity way to
enhance quality of life for all
next up Ron Parida wanted to sponsor
Charity Water and he took that for
a few reasons first he liked that they were fully
transparent where the money is going to
give it two different ways to donate you
don't have to make a one-time donation
you could give up your birthday and that
people giving you guessed it could
donate to charity water and they tell
you exactly what your money innovation
is doing you on the sponsor well if you
want to do a one-time donation a monthly
donation they also do a really nice job
telling the story to be a documentary
next up our editor Roy Choi chose to
support the Alzheimer's Association and
their mission is very simple to fund and
find a cure for Alzheimer's next up

their mission to increase academic

underserved students and put them on the
trajectory success and a college past
they also aim to inspire develop
next-generation teachers educational
leaders this is the cause that he worked
with in high school and that's very
local to where he lives and last but
definitely not least is Sean Aune who runs
all of our ad ops and leads our
development team he wanted to support
animal charity one that we supported in
the past we have a local animal shelter
right across from our office in irvine
animal care center so we went across the
street and sponsored two more kennels
for a year
this is really incredible shelter if the
no-kill shelter animals have an indoor
and outdoor area indoor is heated in the
winter the animals stay in their kennels
until they are adopted and by sponsoring
to kennel we sponsored every animal that
goes into that including the food
they're bedding and medical care the
goal of this video in addition to giving us a platform
to talk about the HP PageWide printer
wasn't to show
look what we did and make you clap for
for how good people we are hopefully to
inspire you to get back to charity or
cause of your choice
it doesn't have to be money solidarity

way to help make the world a little bit
of a better place especially head into a
