Giving Back
The Channel@Work program is the charitable component of our XChange events. Channel@Work is designed to bring the IT community together to connect and give back to the local communities that host our events throughout the year.
Our XChange Events team identifies the charities and coordinates with committed vendors, solution providers, and other IT executives on the appropriate contributions of time, items, and monetary donations to make a difference.
Please visit the Giving Back pages for each of our 2013 events to find out more about this year's projects.

@ XChange Solution Provider: |
@ XChange 2012: Teen Center Make Over Our volunteer team provided a much needed facelift to the Richardson Boys & Girls Club's Teen Center. With brand new computers, a pool table, phooseball table, musical instruments, and designated homework space, teens are excited to spend more time in the center and less time on the streets. |

@ Women of the Channel: At each Women of the Channel reception, attendees brought suits, shoes, and a variety of accessories to help outfit disadvantaged women entering the workforce through Dress for Success. |
@ Midsize Enterprise Summits: Attendees, Vendors, and Staff came together to donate wishlist items including DVDs, gift cards, monetary donations and countless travel sized toiletries to local Ronald McDonald Houses. |
| @ Healthcare IT Summit: Comfort Kids At the event we created comfort kits for local Ronald McDonald House famillies including: gum, crosswords, playing cards, and a note of encouragement. Though our smallest event, Healthcare provided the most toiletries to help these families during this difficult time. |
Volunteers gathered together to work hand in hand with the students at the Henderson Boys & Girls Club to help paint a beautiful mural for their teen room. Be sure to take a look at the pictures on our facebook page. They also worked to construct a Haunted House to help bring new families into the club. |
