More than 400 employees of Trend Micro Inc., volunteered their time, resources and services on Jan. 20, to benefit five schools in the Dallas Independent School District located in the southern region of the city.

- Stevens Park Elementary School
- Quintanilla Middle School
- Dallas Environmental Science Academy (DESA)
- George Washington Carver Elementary School
- C.F. Carr Elementary
