The Kramden Institute will host its first annual ‘Heart Drive' Campaign, according to organizers, to "provide 175...students with computers this holiday season."

According to organizers, the schools represented in the HeartDrive include: Cary High, Merrick-Moore Elementary, East Chapel Hill High, Carrboro High, Powell Elementary, Efland Cheeks Elementary, Centennial Campus Middle, Smith Middle, Githens Middle, Davis Drive Elementary, Culbreth Middle, Hillside High, Sanderson High, WG Pearson Middle, East Cary Middle, Creekside Elementary, Enloe High, Glenn Elementary, Northern High, C.W.
