Managed Solution, a leading technology solutions provider based in San Diego, proudly announces its participation in Giving Tuesday by making a generous donation to the San Diego Humane Society. This contribution not only reflects the company's dedication to corporate social responsibility but also secures its place on the esteemed donor wall of the San Diego Humane Society.
Giving Tuesday, celebrated globally on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, encourages individuals and businesses to give back to their communities and support charitable causes.

In a unique twist to this year's Giving Tuesday initiative, Managed Solution invited its employees to nominate non-profit organizations for consideration. CEO Sean Ferrel, known for his commitment to community engagement, has personally selected ALL five charities nominated by employees. Each charity will receive a donation in kind on behalf of the employees below.
The company encourages other businesses to embrace similar initiatives that empower employees to make a difference in the causes they care about. By supporting multiple charities, Managed Solution aims to amplify the positive impact on communities and create a ripple effect of generosity.
"San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 13 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for more than 40,000 animals in our communities annually, but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.
While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love."

At Managed Solution, our commitment to community engagement runs deep. We believe in using our platform and resources to make a positive impact wherever possible. Our dedication to philanthropy isn't just a choice; it's an integral part of who we are.
Partnership
For years, Managed Solution has forged a strong partnership with Computers 2 SD Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing underprivileged children with access to technology. Our involvement goes beyond mere financial support. We've actively contributed by donating our own surplus laptops, desktops, and devices. These items, once retired from our operations, find new purpose in the hands of children who otherwise might not have access to them.
But our commitment doesn't stop there. We recognize the power of collective action, and we've leveraged our relationships with clients to extend our impact even further. Through our Nonprofit Program, we empower our customers, partners, and friends to join us in supporting causes that matter. By allocating their referral incentives to nonprofits like Computers 2 SD Kids, they play a vital role in bridging the digital divide in our community.
The Nonprofit Program isn't just about giving back; it's about creating a ripple effect of goodwill. By showcasing organizations like Computers 2 SD Kids within our program, we aim to raise awareness and inspire others to get involved. It's about fostering a culture of generosity and compassion, where giving back is not just a one-time event but an ongoing commitment to building a better world for all.
And the impact of our collective efforts is tangible. The laptops, desktops, and devices donated to Computers 2 SD Kids undergo a thorough refurbishment process before being distributed to families in need. These tools become more than just pieces of technology; they become pathways to education, empowerment, and opportunity. Studies show that children with access to home computers perform better in school, yet far too many families in our community lack this essential resource. Through our partnership with Computers 2 SD Kids, we're working to change that reality, one device at a time.
Committed to supporting the community
But our mission doesn't end with technology distribution. We're also committed to supporting educational initiatives and fostering digital literacy among children and families. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and community outreach events, we're empowering the next generation to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
At Managed Solution, philanthropy isn't just a box to check; it's a core value that guides everything we do. It's about recognizing our responsibility to give back to the communities that support us and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Together, we're building a brighter future for all.

On December 8, 2015, Managed Solution proudly hosted a Job Shadow Event for 60 students from Clairemont High School Information Technology Academy, providing them with a unique opportunity to learn critical IT skills through Junior Achievement's job shadow initiative. This event marked the beginning of Computer Science Education Week (December 8-11), a nationwide effort aimed at encouraging students to pursue careers in STEM-related industries.
The day began with a warm welcome from Sean Ferrel, CEO and founder of Managed Solution. Ferrel shared his inspiring journey of building the fastest-growing IT company in Southern California, offering students valuable insights into the world of technology and entrepreneurship. His story resonated with the young attendees, many of whom aspire to follow a similar path in the tech industry. After addressing their career-related questions, Ferrel emphasized the importance of perseverance, continuous learning, and passion in achieving success.
Following the introduction, students were divided into groups and immersed in six different project-based activities led by Managed Solution employees. These hands-on sessions provided a comprehensive overview of various IT disciplines, including app development, coding and web design, channel partner marketing, project management, technical cloud development, and video production. Each activity was designed to give students a real-world understanding of the skills and knowledge required in today’s technology-driven workplace.
In addition to the technical learning, students from Clairemont High School Information Technology Academy had the chance to showcase their creativity and teamwork. They enthusiastically named their groups and played a key role in the filming, photographing, and editing of a video recap of the event, further enhancing their multimedia skills.
The event was not only educational but also a fun and engaging experience for the students, leaving them inspired and motivated to explore careers in IT. You can view more photos from the event on our Facebook page.

Beginning in 2006, JIT awarded its first group of 8 college bound youth with resources for starting their college careers. Over the past nine years, College Bound has grown to help more than 400 youth toward success in college.
Each year, the Just in Time family comes together to give transitioning foster youth the resources and encouragement they need to begin a new life chapter as college students.
Participating youth connect with potential life-long mentors and successful JIT College Bound Alumni, receive laptops and printers, learn valuable tips on money management, legal matters and practical purchases, and pair up with a JIT Volunteer Shopper to buy essential dorm furnishings and school supplies.
Statistics show that 70% of foster youth express a desire to go to college, while only 13% attend and, at best, 3% graduate. For those who do attend, there is a 23% graduation rate compared to 45% for the general population.
While support for foster youth exists in the form of scholarships and other services, the statistics reveal persistent gaps in positive outcomes – gaps created by a lack of the basic resources required for college life and the focused and consistent encouragement of an extended family.
• 89% of participants remain enrolled in school
• 6 have graduated, including CSU San Marcos Alumnus and JIT Program Coordinator James Monroe
