Singapore, December 29, 2016 – Newstead Technologies, a major consumer electronics retailer in Singapore, today announced that they have raised $10,000 from the Gift Your Tech campaign for TOUCH Community Services. Sky Chen, Head of Operations, Newstead Technologies presented the donation to Lawrence Tan, Manager, TOUCH Young Arrows at the Gift Your Tech event at Marina Square Shopping Mall yesterday.

Shoppers
were treated to an educational and entertaining program line-up at the
event including a “Guess and Win” contest to guess the number of gadgets
in the e-waste display stationed at the central atrium. PC Dreams, Newstead Technologies’ partner for the campaign demonstrated
how erased data from devices can be easily retrieved to highlight the
importance of proper disposal of IT products. 

Many
stepped forward to contribute their unwanted devices for the trade-in,
in support of the campaign’s aim to e-recycle and donate to charity. “I
like that the campaign is for a good cause. Instead of letting the old
gadgets sit at home, they can now be used to make a difference in
someone’s life,” said Shirley Mok, Marketing Manager who was at the
event to trade-in her old laptop.

During the campaign which runs till January 27, 2017,
consumers can trade-in PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones for cash
vouchers at 12 participating Newstead Technologies stores.  Newstead
Technologies will donate 20% of the trade-in value and aim to raise a
total of $20,000 for TOUCH Young Arrows to help disadvantaged children.

“We
would like to thank our partners for their contributions in making this
campaign a success so far. We are heartened that the campaign has
received such positive support from the public and hope that they will
continue to bring in their e-waste for recycling,” said Mindy Tan, Chief Executive Officer, Newstead Technologies.
