By pete_gallagher

As part of its Changing the Game initiative, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has granted $115,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA).

The funds will be used to back a digital game development program, called Club Tech: Game Tech, at four new BGCA locations in the U.S., located in Washington, D.C., Orlando, Fla., Bellevue, Wash., and Sunnyvale, Calif. By the close of 2012, the plan is to have the program expand to 14 club location in total.

AMD is also donating $60,000 to install technology centers in the four new Boys & Girls Clubs listed previously.
