Cranberry DiamonDisc Fundraiser Benefits Boys & Girls Club’s Campaign for Kids

We're excited to be able to contribute to the success of our local Boys & Girls Club while also providing the community with a very important service

Ferndale, WA (PRWEB) November 18, 2009

The company and staff behind the recently announced launch of the Cranberry DiamonDisc are excited to offer their product and services this Saturday, November 21, 2009 in a fundraiser to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County’s “Campaign for Kids.”

From 10:00am until 4:00pm, Cranberry staff will be on hand and the public is invited to bring DVDs and USB devices containing their most important digital files to be preserved on Cranberry DiamonDiscs, the only permanent storage medium for digital files. The event will include a live remote broadcast from local radio station KAFE 104.3FM along with free food and drink.

The event will be held at the new Pioneer Post Frame facilities located one-half mile North of the I-5 and Portal Way interchange at 6208 Portal Way, Ferndale, Washington.

A minimum donation of $20 per disc will be accepted. All proceeds will benefit the “Campaign for Kids,” the largest fundraising project the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County has undertaken in their 63-year history. This $4.5 million campaign started with preliminary planning in 2002. It began in earnest in 2006 after securing a new land lease from the City of Ferndale. The commitment accelerated when the Ferndale Club was destroyed by fire on January 1, 2007.

"We're excited to be able to contribute to the success of our local Boys & Girls Club while also providing the community with a very important service," said Cranberry CEO and founder, David McInnis.

Dubbed the 1,000-year DVD, the Cranberry DiamonDisc is the only environmentally inert and permanent storage solution on the market for digital files including photos, videos and electronic documents. Unlike conventional recordable DVDs and CDs, the Cranberry DiamonDisc has no adhesive layers, dye layer or reflective layer to deteriorate - thereby avoiding the "data rot" that quickly corrodes all recordable DVDs. The transparent Cranberry DiamonDisc is environmentally stable and remains unaffected by UV and changes in temperature and humidity.

Both the National Archives and the Library of Congress have warned consumers that home-burned DVDs are unreliable and may not be readable beyond two to five years.

The Cranberry DiamonDisc was invented by professors at BYU and commercialized by Springville, Utah startup Millenniata.
