Sky's the Limit

If you're a true techie/geek, you probably need the latest and greatest toys all the time. So, you have probably acquired a few new toys (a media tablet, netbook, and/or laptop) in the last year or so. That also means you probably have some old devices gathering dust somewhere.

Here's a great solution: consider donating your gently used laptop to Sky's the Limit.

Not only will they pick up the devices anywhere in the GTA OR pay for shipping outside the GTA, you will be making a difference in the life of a Canadian student as well. Sky's the Limit provides gently used laptops to students in Canada who are under-resourced. This includes new immigrants, refugees, street involved youth and students with disabilities. Here's what you need to know:

- Devices should be under 4 years old
- Over 500 devices were donated last year
- You will receive a tax receipt for your donation

Only laptops are accepted today, but they are considering expanding to accept media tablets in the near future. So as you upgrade to the newest sexy tablet on the market, hold onto your old one, and let Sky's the Limit give it a good home.
