  • U.S. Cellular Celebrates National Volunteer Month With $1 Million Donation To Boys & Girls Clubs Of America

U.S. CELLULAR CELEBRATES NATIONAL VOLUNTEER MONTH WITH $1 MILLION DONATION TO BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA

Wireless Carrier Invests in Future Leaders by Supporting K-12 STEM Educational Opportunities

CHICAGO, IL (April 2, 2018)

U.S. Cellular today announced a $1 million donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America to provide K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational opportunities to youth. This is the fourth year U.S. Cellular has funded 53 Boys & Girls Clubs to provide academic and afterschool enrichment programs, with a focus on STEM programming.

"U.S. Cellular is committed to enhancing youth learning experiences in our local communities and proud to continue working with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to invest in our future leaders," said Deirdre Drake, senior vice president and chief human resources officer at U.S. Cellular. "Throughout the year, we strive to provide youth with unique, interactive opportunities, which showcase real-world applications for STEM careers."

To celebrate National Volunteer Month in April, U.S. Cellular associates are participating in volunteer events during the company's fourth annual 'Month of Giving.' Associates will be on-site to engage youth in Earth Day events and career exploration sessions. The company will also host STEM-focused behind-the-scenes tours for youth throughout the year.

U.S. Cellular is also continuing its support of Operation: Veteran Smiles (OVS), a program created by teenager Amelia Day, to bring smiles and basic necessities to veterans. For the second consecutive year, U.S. Cellular will help extend the reach of OVS by packing toiletry kits, writing cards and delivering them to in-patient veterans' facilities in the company's markets. Last year, U.S. Cellular reached more than 4,000 veterans through this initiative.

U.S. Cellular has a longstanding commitment to the community and education. The company has contributed more than $10.65 million to K-12 education since 2009. In 2017, U.S. Cellular associates volunteered at more than 185 events and are committed to volunteering 35,000 hours in local communities again this year.
