BHS WINS $100,000 IN U.S. CELLULAR CALLING ALL COMMUNITIES CAMPAIGN
U.S. Cellular is very proud of the success of
our Calling All Communities Campaign. The idea
came to us because, during these tough economic
times, schools have faced a lot of budget cuts across
the country and we know how important our schools
are to our customers and our community. The
campaign was successful beyond our wildest
dreams. There were more than 120,000 votes
received for 6,500 schools in all 26 states in which
U.S. Cellular operates. The 10 winning schools that
evenly split the $1,000,000 were in Tennessee,
Wisconsin, North Carolina, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
West Virginia and Oklahoma.
Of course, I am most excited that one of the
$100,000 winners was Bearden High School!!! It was
simply amazing how the Bearden Community rallied
around this program and spread the word to go to a
U.S. Cellular Store and vote for Bearden High School.
It took tremendous teamwork from Students, Parents,
Teachers, the Bearden Foundation, Dr. Bartlett and
Staff and U.S. Cellular Associates (especially at the
Kingston Pike Store and West Town Mall Kiosk).
Congratulations Bearden High School!!!
