TUCKER, GA – (PR NEWSWIRE) – June 27, 2009 - SED International Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:SECX), a multinational supply chain management provider and distributor of leading computer technology, wireless communications and consumer electronics, reported that its 30th Year-In-Business Celebration on July 22, 2009 was an enormous success. In observance of its anniversary, the Company welcomed customers, 32 sponsoring vendors and numerous other friends and business partners to the Celebration, held at SED’s world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Attendees had the opportunity to meet the SED team, view products and product demonstrations, capitalize on special anniversary discount deals, tour the Company’s facilities and enjoy complimentary southern barbeque, cake, sweets and other treats.
Drawings held every 30 minutes during the day’s festivities provided for great prize giveaways to attendees that included netbooks, digital cameras and gift certificates. In addition, SED sponsored special anniversary contests on its web site (www.sedonline.com) and on Twitter, awarding an Acer Aspire One Netbook and two Flip Video Mino HD Camcorders to online contest winners.
Following the tented lunch gathering, key members of the executive management team reflected on the Company’s growth and success over the past three decades and recognized 38 employees who have been with SED for 15 or more years. Three of these employees, including Company Chairman and CEO Jeanie Diamond, have been with SED since its first day of operation. Ms. Diamond and SED President and COO Jonathan Elster also had the privilege of presenting a $10,000 “big check” donation to officials from the Atlanta Food Bank, in recognition of Feeding America being selected as SED’s 30th Year Charity Partner. Feeding America, formerly named America’s Second Harvest, is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, and its network is comprised of more than 200 food banks serving all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico
.
As part of the “SED Gives Back” initiative created by the Company to lend a hand in the fight to end hunger, SED has designated each of its facilities in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami and Southern California as collection sites for food donations from its employees, partners and communities. Moreover, throughout the coming year, SED employees will be volunteering their time and service at their local Feeding America member food banks.
"This was a fantastic and enormously fun way to help SED celebrate our 30th year in business, acknowledge our employees contribution to our longstanding success and pay tribute to our vendors and customers. What’s more, it gave us an important opportunity to give back to our local communities where we work, play and raise our families," stated Diamond.
Similar celebrations were all held at SED’s Miami, Dallas and Southern California operations.
