Camp Ho Mita Koda Receives Major Gift from INTEC

CLEVELAND - Thanks to Todd Lewis, father of camper Tyler Lewis, Camp Ho Mita Koda (a summer camp for children with diabetes) recently received a $20,081 donation from Indianapolis-based INTEC and Co., Inc., a national group of technology and imaging supplies dealers. Lewis, president of Twinsburg-based computer supply company, Systems Supply, is a member of INTEC, and spoke of Tyler’s diagnosis with type 1 diabetes to his business peers at INTEC’s annual meeting this spring.

Following Lewis’ plea, INTEC members and vendors participating in the annual show donated $20,081 for Camp Ho Mita Koda. The donations came via a golf tournament, raffle, and donations by members and vendors.

"Todd’s speech at breakfast on Thursday - officially opening our two-day show - drew complete silence," according to Dennis Hardy, president of INTEC. "This is a close-knit group; these are men and women who come to this show year-in and year-out, and they were deeply touched by an issue that befell one of its family members."
