Cox Communications Community Report Cox Communications Community Report
At Cox Communications, we remember what it’s like to be a toddler,
tyke, tot, teen and all ages in between. We recall the wonder of
discovery and of realizing that the world was so much bigger than our
backyard. We remember the tinge of nervousness and excitement of
the first day of school, the exultant joy of the last day, and the warm
wondrous months of summer vacation. While all of those days and
the millions of memories they generated live now only in our fond
recollections, it is those very memories that drive so many of the
decisions we make now as adults.
The 20,000 former kids at Cox Communications want the kids
of today and tomorrow to experience every possible opportunity for
fun, education and growth. That’s why we devote the vast majority of
our charitable giving to youth and education. That’s why we deliver
communications and entertainment services that enhance the growth
and joy of both children and adults. And that’s why we’re forever
eager to learn new things and apply them to making life better and
more enjoyable for our customers and communities.

Since the kid in us likes getting dirty and being active, hands-on volunteerism is an integral part of Cox’s culture. Each
year, we hold Cox Connects Day, a national day of service
benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of America. As an extension of
our national technology partnership with the organization,
every year Cox employees donate thousands of hours of
service to Boys & Girls Clubs across the country.
For instance, on the most recent Cox Connects Day, 125
volunteers in Las Vegas contributed over 600 hours painting a
Club’s interior and improving landscaping, while volunteers
from the IT department worked in the computer room.
Employees in Cleveland also refurbished a local Club,
and volunteers in Pensacola, Florida, planted a garden. Rhode
Island employees designed and painted a playground mural
and revitalized the concession stand and locker room.
Employees from Cox’s Atlanta headquarters painted walkways,
constructed playground benches, improved landscaping and
organized a local Club’s learning center.
Cox also encourages employees to volunteer as individuals
and recognizes employee volunteers with the quarterly
Cox Connects Champion Award. Meet some of the award’s
recent recipients:
John West, Arizona
John began volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America
in 2001. Between troop meetings, attending activities and
serving on committees, he donates around 60 hours a
month to the organization.
