TDS Telecom holds third annual Week of Giving campaign

TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is proud to announce the beginning of its third annual Week of Giving campaign today, Dec. 2.

One of the company’s core values is giving back to the communities it serves. Themed TDS Cares giving events will be held throughout the company’s service areas from Monday, Dec. 2 through Friday, Dec. 6—including Cyber/Stem Monday, Giving Tuesday, Wellness Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, and Food Bank Friday. In total, the Week of Giving will donate over $100,000 to local charities and organizations.

“Supporting our TDS communities has never been more important,” said Drew Petersen, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs. “Whether showing this support through in-kind donations, financial assistance, or our associate’s philanthropic efforts, we hope this Week of Giving will inspire others to give back to their own communities throughout the holiday season.”
