TDS Telecom Gives Back on its First TDS Cares Day
TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is celebrating its core values by holding its first TDS Cares Day to give back to the communities it serves. TDS associates across the U.S. are volunteering where they live and making donations to nonprofit organizations across the company’s footprint.
“Our associates live out our shared values every day, but this is a great opportunity to give an extra focus on what really drives our business forward: our associates and their passion for their communities,” said Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs Drew Petersen.
TDS will be donating $500 a piece to two worthwhile nonprofits, Capitol K9s and Brown Paws Rescue, at a TDS Cares lunch outside its headquarters on 525 Junction Road, Madison from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6.
