Since Micron Technology, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: MU) inception in Boise, its team members have positively impacted the community by volunteering time, energy, and resources and today their votes are benefiting one local charity for a full year. Idaho-based Micron team members formally selected the Women's and Children's Alliance (WCA) as their 2015 "Charity of Choice," earning the charity additional support including a $20,000 monetary donation to achieve its vision of a community where individuals thrive in safe, healthy relationships.

Through its Charity of Choice program, Micron and the Micron Technology Foundation are empowering employees at major company sites to select the charities that matter most to them. These charities will receive both monetary support and focused volunteer support for a full year.

"Our team members are tireless advocates for the communities where we work and live, and contribute in a variety of ways," said Dee Mooney, executive director of the Micron Foundation. "Because they recognize and regularly volunteer their time with deserving local organizations, we felt they should help determine who we partner with at a higher level in each community. Selecting the WCA enables us to extend our support to another great organization, one that makes a tremendous impact here in Idaho."

"We are very pleased to have been selected as the Charity of Choice for 2015 by Micron's Boise team," said Beatrice Black, executive director of the WCA. "Together we are making a difference in the lives of those impacted by domestic abuse and violence. Helping children, women and men who are struggling to live in safety while creating healthy relationships will ensure a better community for us all."
