Power Mac Center, the official premier partner of Apple products in the country, has recently commenced its UpTrade to Uplift Program.
Together with the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation, this program lets customers be given an opportunity to help fellow Filipinos in need. In turn, those who will donate old devices will get corresponding discounts on their next iPhone purchase. It also coincides with PMC’s 26th-anniversary celebration this year, which focuses on helping those who have been affected by the current health crisis and highlights the resilience, courage, and strength of Filipinos; while addressing the need of devices among students taking online classes because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Power Mac Center is one with the education sector in upholding the need for education even in the face of COVID-19. We hope that through our UpTradeto Uplift program, the Filipino Bayanihan spirit flourishes, helping us recover and move forward from this crisis. We invite everyone to lend a hand by donating their old devices,and together, we can elevate the lives of students in need,” said Joey Alvarez, Power Mac Center Director of Product Management, Marketing and Space Planning.
The official figures state that there are 21.7M students who enrolled for the upcoming school year and only a little over 500,000 electronic devices available to lend to teachers and public school students. Despite the moving of the scheduled opening of classes to October, online learning during the pandemic is still difficult to be seamlessly possibly due to the lack of devices among students and schools.
Initially known to provide boats to students in rural areas who had to swim to get to school, the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation now gives school supplies and scholarships to deserving students and supports communities through medical/dental missions and livelihood programs. The past month saw them distributing a total of 4,900 school boats and Adopt-a-Fisherman boats to over 200 communities. This month, the foundation is partnering with Power Mac Center to bridge deserving students in need and PMC customers who are looking for ways to make a difference.
“The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation was founded to improve children’s access to education in any way. In the face of a new obstacle in COVID-19, we are focused on giving them the technology needed to continue learning. Paddles up to Power Mac Center for its assistance in connecting us with good Samaritans. Hope sails, indeed,” said Jay Jaboneta, Co-Founder of the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation.
Device donations are accepted at all Power Mac Center stores until 15 September 2020, only. The discount value that donors get in return depends on the iPhone model that they plan to purchase. The corresponding discounts are as follows:
Only one device donation is eligible for a discount, and the discount cannot be used to purchase other products or converted into cash, loyalty points, and services. The discount offer is valid on the day of the donation only. Other terms and conditions apply.
