DAVID & EMILY MCCULLUM OF “DIGITALLY HIP”
“If we can help out, we should”
David McCullum
first heard about Aunt Leah's through his children, and today
his company, Digitally Hip, is a corporate donor to the organization.
Digitally Hip provides technology support services to Aunt Leah's,
Aunt Leah's pays for these services, and then Digitally Hip gives
Aunt Leah's a donation for the equivalent amount. David McCullum's
parents, Anne and Jim, are long time supporters of the organization.
One Christmas Anne and Jim decided to give their grandchildren
(David's kids) a gift of some money that they could donate to
any organization they chose. Both Benjamin, who is now almost
12, and Eliza, who is now almost eight, chose to support Aunt
Leah's. "One of the things that struck us is that no one
expects their kids to need an organization like Aunt Leah's,"
says David McCullum. "It is too bad that Aunt Leah's has
to exist, but great that it does." This type of financial
support is part of the Digitally Hip "Friends of the Community
Program", where clients are referred through the community
or through friends or family. "We treat these clients just
like any other clients, with the same timeliness and quality of
service," says David McCullum. David and his wife and Digitally
Hip founder, Emily McCullum, choose to donate this way because
"if we can help out we should," David says. "We
choose the organizations that we get involved with very carefully."
Digitally Hip staff member, Chris Austen, comes out to Aunt Leah's
regularly to provide technical support. "With all of our
clients, we try to have the same person go out each time,"
says David McCullum. "We pride ourselves on our communications,
so when there is a good fit we try to stick with that person."
Digitally Hip is a collection of computer experts who specialize
in information technology management for PCs, from consulting
on industry standard hardware and software to building networks
to meeting specialized needs.
