BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 13, 2024 — T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced donations totaling $50,000 to five nonprofit organizations in Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo. that are making a difference in their communities. Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Heartspace Kids, Hero’s Puppy for Life and MaxFund Animal Adoption Center will each receive $10,000 to support their vital programs and initiatives.
T-Mobile employees in the Mountain Plains area of Colorado chose the organizations as recipients of the Difference Maker Award — a quarterly recognition program the Un-carrier started last year to recognize top-ranked employees in business performance areas across the company. As part of the initiative, employees presented checks to the charities and participated in a day of service.
“The Difference Maker Award goes beyond recognition — it's about celebrating our employees and giving them the power to make a real difference," said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. "As we cheer on our Mountain Plains teammates for their incredible efforts, we've also reached a significant contribution of $250,000 in charitable donations since launching the program, enhancing our commitment to creating positive change in communities nationwide.”
Here’s a closer look at how each organization is making a difference.
- Care and Share Foodbank for Southern Colorado – Provides food, partnering opportunities and education to fight hunger and food insecurity in Southern Colorado communities.
