LSI Logic Run Raises $60,000 for Milpitas High School
MILPITAS, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The LSI Logic Classic Run raised $60,000
for a new math and science building scheduled to open at Milpitas High School in
September. Proceeds from Sunday's 10K run and 5K walk will be used to purchase new
computer equipment, software and other lab materials.
"The proceeds from this year's run will help bring our math and science program up to
state-of-the-art standards," said Charles Perotti, superintendent of the Milpitas Unified
School District. "We currently have microscopes, for example, that are more than 30 years
old. Thanks to LSI Logic's (NYSE: LSI) support, our students will be able to conduct more
sophisticated science experiments, using the latest hardware and software tools."
The 48,500-square-foot math and science facility will house 32 classrooms, including 12
science labs. In its nine-year history, the LSI Logic Classic Run has raised nearly $400,000
for Milpitas schools.
