Broadband leader provides continued support for educators and
students in the area with Teacher of the Month Award, Stuff the Bus
Back-To-School Drive and Boys and Girls Club ticket donations to
Augusta GreenJackets home games
AUGUSTA,
Ga., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW!
Internet, TV & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services
provider, and the Augusta GreenJackets, the Carolina League
affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, today announced their continued
commitment to the teachers of the Central Savannah River Area
(CSRA) through the WOW! Teacher of the Month Award. The award
recognizes teachers who have made a lasting impact on their
students and on the surrounding community. Additionally, WOW!
donated 160 tickets throughout the season to the Boys and Girls
Clubs of Greater Augusta and
co-hosted the annual Stuff the Bus Back-To-School Drive to benefit
the United Way of the CSRA.
Along with powering the GreenJackets' home, SRP Park, with
Internet, TV and phone services, WOW! had the privilege of honoring
six outstanding educators who continue to go above and beyond to
create a positive impact within their community through the Teacher
of the Month Award. Each winner was recognized during on-field
pre-game ceremonies and received $500
from WOW! for classroom expenses, four GreenJackets reserved seat
tickets and a commemorative plaque serving as a lasting symbol of
their accomplishment.
To show support for local students, WOW! donated a total of 160
tickets to Augusta GreenJackets home games to the Boys and Girls
Club during the season. WOW! also co-hosted the annual Stuff the
Bus Back-To-School Drive with the GreenJackets and SRP Federal
Credit Union which benefits the United Way of the CSRA. Fans gave
600 pounds of essential items for students such as backpacks,
notebooks and other basic school supplies. These donations help
alleviate some of the financial hardships associated with
back-to-school shopping for families in the community.
"Spirit of service is integral to who we are at WOW!, which is
why we continue to show CSRA teachers how much we appreciate and
respect their commitment to the greater Augusta community and our children," said
Jason Sand, senior director, contact
center operations at WOW!. "It's equally vital for students to have
the classroom supplies needed to advance their learning and to
build a sense of community. We're honored to work alongside local
partners such as the Augusta GreenJackets, United Way of the CSRA,
and the Boys and Girls Club to help offer this support to teachers,
students and families."
"As the 2023 season comes to a close, the Augusta GreenJackets
are honored to have presented the WOW! Teacher of the Month Award
to six esteemed local teachers and are ecstatic to continue the
tradition in the years to come," said Tom
Denlinger, vice president of the Augusta GreenJackets.
"We're grateful to partner with WOW! to support local education and
bring joy to the community by giving back."
