Hamilton High alums and Microsoft give back in Montana

Sean Kollenkark hoped to make a bigger impact for his employer’s charity drive, so he decided to look for other Hamilton folks who also might be working for Microsoft Corporation.

With the click of a mouse, Kollenkark found fellow Broncs Alex Tudor and Jesse Pasichnyk, and turned the Internet time sink and social networking tool Facebook into the conduit that helped bring new software to Hamilton High School.

By tapping into Microsoft’s giving program, the three Hamilton grads turned to the legendary generosity of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, not only benefitting their old school, but in the process, showing their own giving spirits.

“It feels great to do it,” Kollenkark said. “And at the same time, I feel very fortunate to be in a position to be able to give back. And I’m sure that Alex and Jesse feel the same way.”
