Kramden is best known for our Geek-A-Thons®. This three-day event (Friday evening –Sunday afternoon) results in the production of approximately 200 refurbished computers. GATs are often paired with Award Days, which put approximately 40 computers in the hands of worthy students and offer a unique opportunity for recipients to meet and work with volunteers. GATs are held offsite and can accommodate up to 200 volunteers. Sponsors receive recognition in all event publicity, including on t-shirts, press releases, and at the event itself.

On the third Saturday of every month Kramden hosts 2 sessions of computer refurbishing, as well as an Award event where approximately 70 students come to Kramden to receive newly refurbished computers. Kramden can accommodate approximately 100 volunteers and these events tend to attract many of our seasoned volunteers who help create an environment of mentorship for less-experienced volunteers. Sponsors are advertised on t-shirts as well as in publicity for the event.

Kramden is able to host workdays during the week for companies who would like to provide a team-building service opportunity for their employees. During the workday, Kramden “Super Geeks” guide as many as 70 volunteers in the refurbishing process during two shifts (9am – 1 pm, 1pm – 4pm). During a typical day, volunteers can expect to refurbish 60-90 computers for hard-working students in North Carolina. *T-shirts and lunch are also included in this sponsorship fee.
