New York Rental Dealers Association donates computers

In the heart of Brooklyn, New York, sits a five-story brick building that fulfills parents dreams of providing an exceptional education for 405 underprivileged children. The Trey Whitfield School, run by former Dallas Cowboys player A.B. Whitfield and founder Janie C. Whitney, was the gracious recipient of four computers donated by members of the New York State Rental Dealers Association on September 17.
