Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced Braintree After School Enrichment (B.A.S.E.), a child-care program in Braintree, Massachusetts, as the first winner of the Samsung’s Hope for Children Channel Award. They will receive $10,000 in technology from Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division. BostonTech Partners, Inc., a local virtualization technologies solutions provider, nominated them for the award.
B.A.S.E. started with 10 children in 1985 and has since grown to become the largest after-school program in Braintree with more than 300 children today, developing a strong foundation within the local community along the way. They provide preschool through grade 7 children with opportunities to play and learn in a safe and caring environment. Roselyn Karll, the mother of current executive directors, Alysa Karll Rynne and Meridith Karll Duffy, started the program.
“Since my mother passed away in December of 2002, my sister and I have taken on the running of B.A.S.E. full time,” said Alysa Karll Rynne, executive director of the program. “With all of the day-to-day administrative responsibilities we have, we just haven’t had the time to apply for the funding and grants that we need. It is truly amazing that Doug stepped in and nominated us for this award and we’d like to thank both him and Samsung for providing us with a sorely needed upgrade to the technology we use here every day.”
“I’m truly happy that as a local small business owner we are able to help out in some small way,” said Doug Lee, CFO of BostonTech Partners, Inc. “B.A.S.E. is a wonderful program that is very closely connected to the local comminuty and we’re really excited for all the kids in the Braintree area that go there. I think it’s wonderful that Samsung has programs like this and I’m grateful to be a partner representing their products.”
Samsung’s Hope for Children Channel Award is part of Samsung’s Partners in Innovation channel program announced earlier this year. It invites Samsung resale partners to nominate worthy local education institutions through the program’s online portal, Partner Central. Selections are then made by an executive panel and the donation is made on behalf of the selected partner.
“Samsung’s whole Partners in Innovation program is built off a platform that helps us learn more about the the needs of our partners and the communities they serve and providing this Hope for Children Channel Award to such a deserving program closely integrated with one of our partners is a great example of that,” said Richard Hutton, senior channel marketing manager for Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division. “We look forward to working with Alysa and the folks at B.A.S.E. to determine what Samsung technology is going to help improve their daily lives the most.”
The Hope for Children channel awards are part of Samsung’s larger Hope for Children program which was developed with a strategic focus on programs dedicated to helping children share the wonder of life, learning and the planet. Since 2002 Samsung and its retail and business partners have raised more than $30 million for more than 400 schools, community-based foundations and charities throughout the U.S.
