Montreal - July 31, 2006 - Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI) raises nearly $1,500 through an exciting new program benefiting three education-related foundations at the recent NECC Conference held in San Diego, CA on July 4-7.

The goal of this exciting program was to raise both money for and awareness of the issue of technology and learning and ensure that students worldwide have access to all the necessary tools.

Prior to the conference LCSI selected three foundations that it wanted to support for this exciting program. Like LCSI, all three foundations selected- DonorsChoose, OpenWorld Learning and Virtue Foundation -support educational initiatives that bring technology and students together to develop creative and inventive learning opportunities.

In order to show their support of these foundations, LCSI decided to donate $5 for each conference attendee that took part in a product demonstration at the LCSI booth. Following the demonstration, participants were asked to choose from one of the three organizations and have a donation made on their behalf. They were then able to walk away from LCSI's booth with a feeling of goodness about what they had done.

"I'd like to thank everyone that participated in our new fundraising program," says Susan Einhorn, President of LCSI. "I am very proud of the contribution that LCSI was able to make to these three foundations and I am hoping that this is a program that other companies will embrace in the future".

LCSI would like to challenge other companies to step forward and join in this exciting new program.
