Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:GOCH), a premier national provider
of professional IT solutions to small business and residential customers
through its trade name Geeks On Call®,
announced today that its franchise locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth
Metroplex have launched a program dubbed “PCs
4 Patriots” to help military families use
technology to stay in touch with loved ones serving overseas.
Without the necessary computer equipment or technical knowledge it often
can be difficult for families to communicate with servicemen stationed
abroad. However, that is about to change thanks to the computer
professionals at Geeks On Call. In Dallas and Fort Worth, the local
Geeks On Call franchise owners have developed “PCs
4 Patriots” through which they collect new or
used computers, reload them with essential software and donate them to
military families.
These same Geeks On Call franchise owners have already collected over
2,000 donated computers for the Dallas Can! and Fort Worth Can!
Academies, which are non-profit organizations operating public charter
high schools that provide a second-chance education for at-risk youth.
The PCs 4 Patriots program is a great step forward in the efforts of
Geeks On Call to take equipment headed for landfills and breathe new
life into it so that it may be a blessing to families in need.
The spokesman for this program, Geeks On Call franchise owner Jerry
Hampton from Dallas, commented, “We want to
continue donating our time and services to support our communities and
citizens. We believe it is important to remember the families of
servicemen who struggle with numerous issues while their loved ones are
serving our country. Currently we have a small quantity of computers,
and we ask that interested families complete an application process.”
Added Hampton, “We are also seeking business
partners who would like to give back to the Dallas/Fort Worth area by
participating in the PCs 4 Patriots program. We need people who are
willing to accept donated equipment, oversee the application process and
help with publicity through inserts into billing statements, web site
links and other efforts. In addition, we need drop-off partners, media
partners and people with equipment to donate.”
The PCs 4 Patriots initiative will launch on the Fourth of July weekend
with two events. The first is a free evening of fireworks and live
entertainment on July 4 at Fouts Field in Denton (on the campus of the
University of North Texas). Gates open at 5:30 PM with fireworks
beginning around 9:30 PM. The second event is on July 5 between 10 and
11 AM at the Millennium Bank located at 11950 Webb Chapel Road in
Dallas. At that time Geeks On Call will distribute applications for the
PCs 4 Patriots program, introduce the current PCs 4 Patriots partners,
and give away computer equipment.
Families who would like to apply for the PCs 4 Patriots program or
receive more information should visit www.pcs4patriots.com
