iPod and iPhone Repair Company Gives Back to Schools

Mission Repair launches the Operation:Education Fundraising Program to benefit public schools.

The current economic climate has taken a financial toll on some of the nation’s public school systems.  Mission Repair has partnered with public schools across the country creating a program called Operation:Education.  The program offers a 5 percent donation back to a referring school based on total gross sales of services with Mission Repair.

“This program allows schools to regain some of their operating cash flow by providing a donation at no additional cost to the consumer,” said President of Mission Repair, Ryan Arter.

Mission Repair has an intricate system in place that tracks business generated from each participating school.  A school representative must enroll the school in the
Operation:Education Program to benefit.  In return, Mission Repair will create a custom affiliate page for the participating school.  Click here to see an example of a participating school’s affiliate page.

Once the school’s page is created, the school is free to market the program as they choose.  Some schools can add a link to their website to the custom affiliate page.  Other schools allow Mission Repair to run advertisements in their school newspaper and/or yearbook.  Schools can also choose to hang posters (provided by Mission Repair at no cost) within the school facility.  There are other opportunities to advertise the partnership and Mission Repair is very flexible with these options.

When the school's link is clicked, the database remembers your visit for up to seven days.  If you place an order with Mission Repair, it knows what school you're supporting.  This way, the school you choose obtains the credit.  Mission Repair will send the school’s representative a tax-free check to help expand the needs of the school.

"It dawned on me when I was speaking to my daughter's school principal.  They just received huge budget cutbacks for the 2010 school year and the school is actively seeking donations and fundraising opportunities,” said Arter.  "I asked myself, how can I assist my daughter's school and any other school around the country?  It hit me that most students have an iPod or a cell phone and a lot of them need repairs.  I just needed a way to reach all of these students and came up with Operation:Education .”

Mission Repair offers of variety of repair solutions including iPod repair, iPhone repair, MacBook repair, and more. Any repair or product purchased from Mission Repair is counted toward the accumulated quarterly donation.
