Digital Bridge

Last week, we teamed up with our partner United Way to deliver 100 refurbished laptops to The Missing Peace Community Collective in Milwaukee's Washington Park neighborhood.

The Missing Peace is dedicated to serving, inspiring, and connecting the community through partnerships that help people thrive. We're grateful for the opportunity to support that mission by helping expand access to technology for the people they serve.

Thank you to United Way and The Missing Peace for your partnership and for the incredible work you're doing to strengthen our community. We're honored to play a small part.

Another Summerfest Tech is in the books, and we're heading home with two full bins of donated laptops, monitors, phones, cables, and other electronics that will be securely refurbished or responsibly recycled.

A huge thank you to the team at the Westin Hotels & Resorts Milwaukee, and especially to Lena DeLaet and her incredible team at Summerfest TechAI. Your energy and passion create an event that brings together one of the Midwest's most engaged technology communities.

We enjoyed reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and having meaningful conversations about sustainability, responsible technology management, and reducing e-waste.

To everyone who stopped by our collection station, donated equipment, shared your organization's challenges, or simply took a moment to say hello, thank you. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again next year.

How old is the oldest piece of technology in your office?

Digital Bridge is partnering with Summerfest Tech, June 23-26 at the Westin Milwaukee, to collect e-waste for responsible recycling and refurbishment.

Bring your old laptops, desktop computers, tablets, phones, chargers, and other electronics and enter our inaugural Tech Time Capsule Awards:

One winner will be selected in each category and receive a $25 gift card.

As a NAID AAA Certified organization, Digital Bridge follows the industry's highest standards for secure data destruction, so you can donate with confidence.

We'll see you at Summerfest TechAI!

Some partnerships create impact far beyond technology.

Thanks to support from the Associated Bank Foundation, we recently helped provide laptops to Black Business Enterprises in Minneapolis, helping expand access to opportunity for entrepreneurs, families and community members who need it most.

As Executive Director Nancy Korsah shared:

“For many of the families and entrepreneurs we serve, access to technology means the ability to apply for jobs, complete training programs, grow their businesses, and simply have more opportunity at their fingertips. This gift creates real mobility.”

We’re grateful to work alongside organizations like Black Business Enterprises and the Associated Bank Foundation that understand access to technology is about more than devices. It’s about economic opportunity, empowerment and connection.

Together, we’re helping ensure technology fuels access, not landfills.
