The Golden State Warriors organization has always been committed to their work in the community and that tradition continued recently when former Warriors coach Al Attles and current Warriors player, forward Anthony Randolph delivered free computers to an Oakland school.
More than 5,000 students from approximately 100 Title 1 middle schools were selected along with Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami and DC to participate in a competition that could win $80,000 in HP mobile digital technology and more for their school.
The NBA, Golden State Warriors and HP Digital Assist officially launched their education grant competition at the Oakland school last week and Randolph personally delivered the computers and printers to the school to help increase the awareness of schoolwork and better preparing students for class projects.
Urban Promise Academy also has the chance to win $80,000 in HP mobile digital classroom technology, NBA tickets and merchandise, visits from NBA stars, and other awards. The competition runs through Nov. 20th.
