Infotheek donates € 12,500 to 3FM Serious Request

From 18 until 24 December 2011 3FM Serious Request was being held at the “Beestenmarkt” in the city Leiden. Serious Request is a yearly project by Dutch radio station 3FM in which they collect money for projects of the Red Cross. IT supplier Infotheek supported this project with several promos which have brought in € 12,500.

This year 3FM Serious Request created awareness for mothers who are or have been affected by the consequences of war. From the “Glazen Huis” (house of glass) the Radio 3FM DJs Gerard Ekdom, Timur Perlin and Coen Swijnenberg hosted a radio marathon show from the 18th until the 24th of December to collect money for the Red Cross.

From 23 November till 24 December 2011 Infotheek donated € 5,- for every sold Approved Selection system. This promo was valid on every Approved Selection PC, workstation, notebook, TFT-screen and thin client. Approved Selection is Infotheek’s quality mark concerning refurbished IT hardware.

Infotheek had also a buy-back promo. Several organizations donated their used hardware which had to be replaced. Infotheek bought back the hardware and the customer could decide to donate a part of the buy-back value or even the whole buy-back value.

Chief Operations Officer Jordy Kool: “Thanks to our customers, suppliers and other contacts we were able to donate such a significant donation to 3FM Serious Request. Especially the buy-back promo created a lot of awareness. For example SDU Publishers has made a donation, thanks to the buy-back back promo.”

Employees of Infotheek were also making effort to donate to 3FM Serious Request. Operational Manager Mirjam Roos: “Infotheek is a company which combines a healthy and hard working mentality with a lot of fun. For instance, last Friday we combined a fun dressed day with several promos to collect money for 3FM Serious Request. Some employees played music in return for money and other colleagues were serving Wienerschitznels for a donation. Thanks to all promotions, we were able to collect € 12,500 for 3FM Serious Request.”
