Each organization s fundraising efforts include securing golfers to enter the tournament and to find contributors to sponsor holes at different dollar levels. La Plaza uses the funds raised to provide computers to deserving youth in Taos County via our annual Computer Essay Contest. La Plaza is dedicated to bridging the digital divide in Taos County by providing young people with access to Information Technology at the end of the school day.
Many students have access to computers and the Internet at school.
When they go home at night, they are unable to share the lessons they have learned with their parents and other family members. When they walk out the door at night, and especially when they graduate from High School they lose all access to computers and the Internet. Last year we raised sufficient funds too give away 5 new computers to Taos youth. We also provided the winning contestants with a free Internet and email account for one year as well as assorted software programs. Learn more about last year s winners .
