Danvers, Mass. - (August 1, 2011): The International Cars, Ltd. (ICL) family of dealerships invites its customers and community to join them this August in celebrating "National Back to School" month. For each vehicle sold throughout the month of August, each of ICL's five dealerships will donate $100 (up to $10,000) to local schools through online giving forum Digital Wish.

Digital Wish is a national platform that empowers educators and donors to campaign cooperatively to put technology into the hands of students across America. Digital Wish allows teachers to create "wish lists" of technology products needed for their classroom, and describe how each item will be utilized at www.digitalwish.org. Like a gift registry, visiting donors can purchase wish list items for classrooms through Digital Wish, or donate money to a specific classroom for future technology purchases. 100percent of every donation to Digital Wish funds classroom technology.

ICL's "Back to School" month donation will benefit local Massachusetts and New Hampshire schools and assist Digital Wish in their mission to solve technology shortfalls in U.S. classrooms.

"Technology really has changed the way our children learn," said Jack Donachie, president and CEO of International Cars, Ltd. "With so much pressure on the learning environment, it can be expensive for schools and teachers to keep up with the costs. We're proud to partner with Digital Wish again this August to help fill in some of those gaps and keep schools equipped with the most up-to-date technology."

In addition to donating $100 per vehicle sold, ICL will also offer employee pricing to all educators throughout the month of August.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for our educators to acquire much-needed technology," said Heather Chirtea, executive director and founder of Digital Wish. "We are excited to help ICL reach the schools in their local region and impact as many as 1,000 students, right in their hometown!"

Digital Wish invites the collaborative involvement of local communities, caring donors, and innovative teachers to make a personal investment in the communities where they live and work. Teachers are encouraged use the platform to network with other educators across the country, sharing lesson plans, experiences, and advice on teaching in the 21st century.
