Sunnking, Inc., in partnership with Camp Good Days and Special Times, created a program 3 years ago entitled “E-Scrap 4 Camp” which facilitates the recycling of old electronics from participating locations in the Buffalo and Rochester areas to generate funds for Camp Good Days and Special Times.

The total volume of electronics collected in 2013 was 421,444 lbs. which equals a $12,643.32 donation this year to help children and families affected by cancer. Since its inception in 2011, E-Scrap 4 Camp has recycled a total of 991,006 pounds of electronics with over $30,000 donated by Sunnking.

During the month of April, Sunnking provided free supplies and free pickups for participating organizations in the Buffalo and Rochester area. Organizations were encouraged to collect old and unwanted electronics from employees, friends and family and Sunnking made a monetary donation to Camp Good Days for every pound of electronics recycled.  2013 marked the first year that Rochester organizations were included in the campaign and as a result an additional 102,903 lbs. of electronics were collected this year.

“Once again we are thrilled with this year’s participation and growth in the E-Scrap 4 Camp program,” says Adam Shine, Director of Business Development at Sunnking. “The level of support that Sunnking experienced from the community to help raise money for Camp Good Days was overwhelming.  With the combined efforts of the participating organizations throughout Buffalo and Rochester we were able to beat last year’s donation. Many children facing the harsh realities of cancer will now have the ability to participate in year round activities with Camp Good Days to help take their minds off of their unfortunate circumstances.  We are excited to continue this program again in 2014.  Next year we want to push to make it bigger and better so that no child has to endure cancer alone.”

“We are so grateful that Sunnking chose Camp Good Days as the beneficiary of E-Scrap for Camp again this year, as all of the programs and services we provide, here at Camp Good Days, for children and families whose lives have been touched by cancer, are offered free of charge for the participants,” says Gary Mervis, Chairman & Founder.  “This is only possible because of the generous support from so many, like everyone at Sunnking and all those who contributed to E-Scrap for Camp.”  “All those who participated are helping us to create some good days and special times for some children and families who need them the most and the support is so very much appreciated!”
