Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation

AMD and HP have initiated a joint initiative to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with cancer live strong.

AMD and HP, working closely with the LAF, have developed the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC, a one-of-a-kind consumer PC that bears the LIVESTRONG message and a reproduction of Lance Armstrong's autograph. Fifty dollars from each HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC will go to the LAF to help the Foundation fund its public health, advocacy, research and education initiatives for people with cancer.

To show its full support of the program, AMD has made a two-year commitment to generate a minimum of $4 million for the LAF from this initiative.

LAF programs include public health initiatives, community programs, advocacy, research grants and education, including the LIVESTRONG Resource for Cancer Survivors.

In addition to the $50 that the LAF will receive from each notebook, HP has purchased yellow LIVESTRONG wristbands to be packaged with yellow stereo ear buds with every notebook. To further support the cause, AMD and HP plan to donate notebooks for use in LAF-funded cancer survivorship centers throughout the United States. In addition, the two companies are inviting PC buyers to join the battle against cancer by matching or exceeding the $50 per unit for the LAF.

The HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC is available for purchase this month via hpshopping.com or by calling 888-999-4747, and beginning in July at select retail stores throughout the United States.
