Pure Digital Kicks Off Massive Camcorder Giveaway 



Starting today, Pure Digital Technologies 
 will be launching a 
one million Flip Video Camcorder 
giveaway to benefit nonprofits worldwide. The Flip Video Spotlight program 
came about when former President Bill Clinton approached Pure Digital, 
requesting that video be used to shed light on world issues that need to be 
addressed.

With a million pocket-sized camcorders 
 that have built-in software 
for direct uploading to YouTube , the 
possibilities are endless for what can be achieved with this initiative, “We believe video can help change the world,” said Jonathan Kaplan, 
Chairperson and CEO of Pure Digital Technologies in a press release. 
”Non-profit organizations do incredible everyday work that the public rarely 
sees. Imagine the impact that video would make if every on-the-ground staff 
member or volunteer had both a camcorder and the ability to broadcast their 
message to the world.”



Pure Digital will distribute up to one million Flip Video Camcorders to 
nonprofits and other qualified non-governmental organizations (NGOs) over 
the next five years, starting this December. These groups will be able to 
use video as a tool to highlight the need for their services, better 
communicate with their donors, and broadcast their accomplishments to the 
world. Qualified nonprofits and NGOs can sign up to purchase Flip Video 
Spotlight Kits at Flip Video Spotlight 
and will receive the necessary tools to begin using video technology 
effectively.

The massive camcorder giveaway kicks off today at the Clinton 
Global Initiative where the camcorders will be distributed to each of the 
current and former heads of state and other leaders.
