NetScout®
Systems, Inc., today announced the company is teaming with Habitat
for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley to bring smiles to the children
of soldiers serving in the United States Armed Forces. On Thursday,

Silicon Valley offices into a makeshift carpenter’s workshop to
construct two playhouses that will be donated to a local chapter of Blue
Star Moms, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support
for United States Armed Forces, its veterans and their families. This
will be NetScout’s third consecutive year participating in the program,
and the first year the company has upped its commitment by offering its
offices for a “site build” and increasing its donation from one to two
playhouses. The Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley Playhouse
Program has donated playhouses to organizations including the Ronald
McDonald House, InnVision, Community Solutions, Rebekah's Children's
Services, Chamberlain Children’s Center and the YWCA.

“Through our Heart of Giving program, NetScout has established a close
relationship with numerous charities such as Habitat for Humanity in the
cities and towns where we have offices. The Playhouse Project is a
unique venture that allows us to directly give back to local families
that deserve our support and recognition,” Ken Boyd, CIO and lead
executive of NetScout’s San Jose site. “Nothing tops the smile on a
child’s face when they receive one of the playhouses we’ve built, and
we’re especially excited that the playhouses this year will be going to
Blue Star Moms. Our military personnel do their part serving and
protecting our country, so it’s nice to be able to do something in
return.”
