At Wireless Zone®, we know businesses have the power to make an amazing impact on their local communities. That’s why we give our awesome employees the opportunity to give back year-round through group and individual volunteer events, company-wide givebacks, and community grants. Here’s what we’ve been up to these past few months:
August 2024
The Best of the Best Award
Congratulations to our Groton, CT, and New London, CT, stores, both owned by Scott Gladstone, for receiving the Best of the Best 2024 award from The Day Readers’ Choice Awards!
Giving Back with the Sunshine Foundation
At the Wireless Zone franchise convention, we packed amenity bags for families staying at the Dream Village in Orlando, ensuring they feel right at home during their stay. We also had the opportunity to fold and stuff newsletters, helping spread the word about the amazing work being done by the Sunshine Foundation. But the highlight of the day? We proudly donated $50,000 to support their mission of making dreams come true for children with life-altering conditions.
SAGE Muncie Pride
The SAGE (Sexuality and Gender Equality) employee resource group proudly hosted a booth at this year’s Muncie Indiana Pride, where Round Room served as the Title Sponsor for the entire event! At their booth, they highlighted the More Than a Phone initiative and its More Than a Statistic series, which focuses on the LGBTQIA+ community.
This extraordinary event put on by Muncie OUTReach was made possible by our company’s support, bringing together over 140 diverse vendors and more than 1,000 residents to celebrate pride in an unforgettable way!
July 2024
2024 School Rocks Backpack Giveaway
Our annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway was a success! We gave away over 100,000 backpacks to local students to prepare them for the upcoming school year. A handful of stores were also given a golden ruler keychain to surprise a randomly selected student! These students received $100 for themselves and a $1,000 Amazon wish list buyout for their school.
AOA Fundraiser
The Arts and Outdoor Activities (AOA) employee resource group hosted a paint and sip event where they raised $1,000 for Theatre Horizon in Norristown, PA. This theatre has an Autism Drama Program, inspiring the imagination and social development in individuals on the autism spectrum and with other sensitivities.
Cats Haven Volunteer Event
Dawn H. at our Store Support has coordinated support for Cats Haven in Indianapolis for YEARS now, and she organized another landscaping project. It was so hot and it was hard work, but they made BIG strides with their yard and gardens!
Check out what we were up to last quarter. And read all about our company’s giving here.
