SAN DIEGO -- More than 20,000 children and their families in 25 San Diego County communities now have access to technology and the Internet because of a vision shared by Gateway Chairman and CEO Ted Waitt, AOL founder Steve Case and Colin Powell.
Earlier this month, the Waitt Family Foundation and PowerUP, the leading national nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping young people succeed in the Digital Age, opened their latest community technology centers bringing the number to 25 sites co-sponsored by Waitt and PowerUP in San Diego County. The centers feature 15 to 20 Gateway PCs, and offer instructional classes on computer use and Internet surfing.
