Politician and ComputerFox, Volunteer Services to Circle of Care.

ComputerFox, a Connecticut-based computer repair chain, has volunteered its computer repair services to Circle of Care, an in-house hospital program that offers support to families with children with cancer. Circle of Care services families in the Yale Medical Center and others.

ComputerFox is headed by Milford businessman Rocco J. Frank, Jr., who saw this as another great way to reach out to those who really needed help. Frank has a long history of offering his computer services to those in need. He currently operates a free computer recycling program and a free refurbished computer program for those who are on public assistance and can not afford to buy their own.

“Circle of Care provides ComputerFox with a unique opportunity to help sick children and their families,” said Frank. So far, ComputerFox has volunteered several hours of their computer repair services and some computer parts. “We estimate that the initial repair of the organization’s laptops is the equivalent of over $1,000 worth of parts and services,” said Frank.
Volunteering began with the repair of all of the organizations laptop computers, but that was only the beginning. ComputerFox will also maintain the computers indefinitely through the use of an employee who will become a volunteer, absolutely free of charge.

“I have four precious children of my own,” said Frank, “and would really appreciate any help if something ever happened to one of them.” Circle of Care offers support for families with cancer through an in-hospital program and telephone peer support. Also, the laptop computers are also offered to families in need.

Rocco J. Frank, Jr., CEO of ComputerFox is also running for office in 2008, as an Independent candidate for State Representative for the 118th District of Connecticut, which includes Milford and Devon. He hopes that his goodwill toward all, even those outside his voting district like Circle of Care, translates into something great for everyone in Connecticut.
