On behalf of the entire Gateway family, I welcome you to the BMOA Wheels of Dream Bus. Gateway is excited to take part in this unique adventure by providing access to technology to help you reach your dreams.

We join the Black McDonald's Operators Association (BMOA) and the Wheels of Dreams Youth Foundation in their strategic partnership with the Atlanta Public Schools. We celebrate your participation in the program designed to enhance your computer skills, entrepreneurship awareness and employment opportunities.

As you interact with the instructional content and listen to the personal messages of the mentors, remember that Gateway started as a dream of Ted Waitt, our Chairman & CEO. Founded in 1985 with a $10,000 loan guaranteed by Ted's grandmother, Gateway quickly grew into a multibillion-dollar company. The company's early value proposition was as simple then as it is now - deliver the best products, the best service and the best value in the industry.

At Gateway we believe in the diversity of our workforce and marketplace. We are committed to creating and supporting, fun, innovative and lasting programs necessary to teach our nation's youth the importance of ethical use of technology. We believe that working together as a community of businesses, schools and parents we can help you cross the digital divide and assist you as you realize your dreams of success.
With hard work, education, and commitment to your family and community, we know that one day your entrepreneurial dreams will come true. We are honored that Gateway is your pathway to learning using interactive compute-based training on the BMOA Wheels of Dreams.

Sincerely,
Tanya Diggs
Director, Emerging Markets, North America
