WOW! and Augusta GreenJackets Honor Outstanding Educators in the Greater CSRA Community Throughout 2024 MiLB Season

Broadband leader provides ongoing support to educators and students in the area with the Teacher of the Month Award and Stuff the Bus Annual School Supply Drive

AUGUSTA, Ga., Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet, TV & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider, and the Augusta GreenJackets, the Carolina League affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, today announced another successful MiLB season honoring the teachers of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) through the WOW! Teacher of the Month Award. For the seventh year in a row, students, parents or family members nominated outstanding teachers in the area who go above and beyond to create a positive education experience. WOW! also participated in this year's Stuff the Bus Annual School Supply Drive, benefiting the United Way of the CSRA. 

WOW! is a proud supporter of the CSRA community, powering the GreenJackets' stadium, SRP Park, with internet, phone and TV services. During home games at SRP Park, WOW! honored five teachers with the Teacher of the Month Award. Each winner was recognized during on-field pre-game ceremonies and received $500 from WOW! for classroom expenses, four GreenJackets reserved seat tickets and a commemorative plaque serving as a lasting symbol of their accomplishment.

In a joint effort with the GreenJackets and SRP Federal Credit Union, WOW! also co-hosted the Stuff the Bus Annual School Supply Drive at SRP Park in July. The drive collects school supplies to donate to the United Way of the CSRA and helps to ease some of the financial hardships associated with back-to-school shopping for families within the community.

"Every year we are proud to sponsor the WOW! Teacher of the Month Award and honor the educators in the Augusta community that are making a difference in the lives of their students," said Jason Sand, senior director, contact center operations at WOW!. "We are passionate when it comes to supporting education efforts in CSRA both with this award and the Stuff the Bus Drive. We are grateful to our partners who are equally committed to ensuring a better future for our younger generations and the teachers who advance their learning on a daily basis."

"Thank you to WOW! and the community for showing up every year to help our local students and teachers. We are indebted to the teachers who ensure our kids thrive and are proud to have honored them with this esteemed award throughout our 2024 season," said Tom Denlinger, vice president of the Augusta GreenJackets.
