FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sparklight Awards $7,500 to Mama T’s Nonprofit
July 9, 2024 – Ada, Okla. – Sparklight®, a leading broadband communications provider, recently awarded $7,500 to Mama T’s Bread & Blessings (B&B) transitional living community through the company’s Charitable Giving Fund. The organization was one of 26 nonprofits across the company’s 24-state footprint that received grants totaling more than $125,000 during the company’s most recent award period.
Mama T’s B&B helps those who find themselves homeless by temporarily providing for their physical needs while assisting them in finding ways out of poverty, addiction, lack of education, lack of job skills, health afflictions and other issues.
“Mama T's is deeply thankful to Sparklight for its generous $7,500 grant, which will play a crucial role in helping vulnerable individuals unable to access shelter during harsh winter months stay warm and safe,” said Jeremy Johnson, executive director of Mama T's B&B. “Sparklight’s grant will provide essential warming supplies that will be a literal lifesaver for those who would otherwise be at risk of freezing to death.”
The Charitable Giving Fund, which annually awards $250,000 in grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in communities served by the Cable One family of brands (Sparklight®, Fidelity Communications, Hargray, ValuNet Fiber and CableAmerica), concentrates support in the following priority areas:
- Education and Digital Literacy
- Food Insecurity
- Community Development
Sparklight has a long history of supporting the communities it serves through donations of time and resources to food banks, animal shelters, senior and child advocacy programs and community beautification projects, to name a few. All associates are encouraged to use an annual “Angel Day” funded by the company to volunteer for a philanthropy of their choice.
Nonprofit organizations may apply for a Sparklight Charitable Giving Fund grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for fall 2024 grants will be accepted October 1–31, 2024. For more information about the Sparklight Charitable Giving Fund, please visit www.sparklight.com/charitablegiving.
