Computers with a Cause donates computers to Ronald McDonald
Ronald McDonald was even expressing gratitude for the new Dell Computers
The Ronald McDonald House in Charleston, SC is located across the street from the new Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital at MUSC. We were advised of their need for families and staff to have some new computers as their existing ones were quite old and lacking in current technology.

Coastal Carolina Scout Awarded Computer 2021
Dr. Baker presents Computer to Coastal Carolina Council BSA Staff
Computers with a Cause makes a difference in our community by recognizing worthy students who would otherwise have little access to the tools necessary to succeed in our modern world. Computers with a Cause is delighted to announce that our most recent recipient is an excellent student who has distinguished herself academically and through her involvement with the Scouts. It is our belief that today’s gift of a computer will help Zoey F. further her educational goals, and give her the leg up that all students deserve.
Pictured above are BSA staff members, Debra Everitt and Kendra Barrett, along with our very own Dr. Bobby Baker, who is presenting the computer on behalf of Computers with a Cause. The computer was delivered to Zoey at the Coastal Carolina Council of the Boy Scouts of America’s Low Country District in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Both of their sons are Eagle Scouts. The Bakers are happy to give back to their community through the Dr. Bobby and Julie Baker Foundation, and Computers with a Cause is pleased to support qualified scouts through their charitable endeavors.
About Us
Our Organization
By working with several non-profit organizations, local schools, and public education departments, we help identify students who have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and deserve an opportunity to succeed in today’s digital world. Some of these students have overcome many barriers in their lives and our organization strives to help them remain on track to succeed in life! We believe in changing the lives of these students, one laptop computer at a time.
Our History
Our organization was formed after witnessing so many students who have worked very hard to succeed academically, but do not have access to the resources that would allow them to own their own laptop computer. Many of these students have provided years of community service to their churches and other organizations. They are often in the top of their class and have taken several Honors and AP classes. This is despite their many social, family and financial hardships that they have had to live with.
We want them to have an opportunity to attend college or trade school and hope to eliminate another obstacle in their lives by providing them with their own laptop computer. We need for them to know that there are many people and organizations, such as ours, that care about them and their future.
Our Mission
To eliminate one obstacle in the life of deserving young minds, one laptop computer at a time.
