    SOLAR TO POWER HAITI HOSPITALS

    Aaron's, Inc. to Donate Solar-Powered Electric Systems to Haiti Relief Efforts; Aaron's Stores Give $100,000 Donation Powering Two Medical Center Systems
    February 5, 2010 (Aaron’s Inc via CNNMoney)

    "Aaron's, Inc. will donate two solar-powered electric systems, arriving in Haiti today and valued at $100,000, in support of Haiti relief efforts through ACORP, Aaron's Community Outreach Program. Through ACORP, Aaron's associates have donated thousands of hours of associate time to community service projects in more than 1,700 cities across the U.S. and $6.8 million in goods and services donations.

    "The solar-powered systems, designed by Sundance Solar Designs, LLC, will provide enough power to sustain two medical centers and 34 treatment tents. According to Spencer Smith, the Aaron's franchise owner heading up the project with Sundance Solar, the lack of fuel to run generators in Haiti already has created a significant issue for medical professionals trying to administer treatment. Smith, a franchise owner of 21 Aaron's stores, and his employees, donated $50,000 while Aaron's, Inc. corporately donated an additional $50,000 through the ACORP program…"

    "Sundance Solar Designs will donate their time, expertise, and purchase of the equipment as well as personally delivering and installing the systems in Haiti. Sundance Solar Design's support team will arrive in Haiti today to ensure the generators are installed successfully. In addition to the solar panels that power the invertors and battery banks, Sundance Solar will bring the lighting fixtures and refrigeration units…"

    [Spencer Smith, franchise owner, Aaron’s Inc.:] "With the donation of these solar-powered systems, we are addressing a specific and immediate need…Without the fuel to run their generators, medical staff is forced to stop operating with the absence of light after the sun goes down. These unique solar-powered systems are self-sustaining and will not only provide lighting 24/7 for two full medical centers, doubling the hours available to treat patients, but will also run the refrigeration units containing life-saving medical supplies."
