Cincinnati Bell's Business Bundles Are Helping Bundle Up Children in Need
December 12, 2011
CINCINNATI, Ohio – Cincinnati Bell has announced that it plans to donate coats and other winter apparel to children in need in conjunction with its Unbeatable Bundle for Business promotion.
Small-business customers who sign up for the Unbeatable Bundle by Dec. 31 can help keep a child warm this winter while saving on telecommunication services in 2012. The Unbeatable Bundle for Business includes one business phone line with unlimited domestic long distance and Internet for $69.99 per month.
"We are proud to deliver competitive telecommunications services to small businesses throughout Greater Cincinnati," said Dave Heimbach, senior vice president and general manager, Business and Carrier Markets. "It makes our jobs even more rewarding when we can offer businesses the opportunity to partner with us and help children in need. Because we are a local company, we take pride in supporting the local organizations that make a difference in our community, especially during the holiday season."
Cincinnati Bell plans to donate $10,000 worth of new coats and gloves on behalf of its customers to two local charities, the Brighton Center and the Freestore Foodbank, who also do business with Cincinnati Bell.
"Brighton Center could not make the impact that it does in our community without the help of concerned corporate friends like Cincinnati Bell," said Bear Clifton, director of development at Brighton Center. "These items will be a tremendous benefit to families who are struggling just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table."
"We are so happy when businesses like Cincinnati Bell want to partner with us to help our neighbors in need," said Kurt Reiber, president of the Freestore Foodbank. "Cincinnati Bell's Bundle Up promotion will provide an invaluable donation this time of year and help us make sure that kids across the Tri-state are warm this winter."
