Cox Communications and the James M. Cox Foundation have been philanthropic partners of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and local Clubs since 1977. Their contributions to BGCA help to fund technology centers and have established significant advances in digital literacy for many Clubs across the nation.
Support from Cox bridges the digital divide for many disadvantaged young people. Cox generously provides contributions to BGCA to fund technology centers in key Cox markets. In total, BGCA has received nearly $25 million in cash and in-kind internet, cable and advertising support. Providing low-cost internet service through its Connect2Compete program, Cox and its local affiliates have also established significant advances in digital literacy for many Clubs across the nation.
“A reliable connection to the internet is more important now than ever before. We’re committed to ensuring our children are connected at school, at home and right here at the Boys & Girls Club where so many children spend their afternoons. We look forward to the incredible achievements we’re going to see from all of these bright kids in the coming years.”
— Bruce Crooks, Cox Vice President of Customer Care
