GREENVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 31, 2022) – As schools across eastern North Carolina begin to
welcome students back into the classrooms, academic and athletic groups are looking for ways
to earn funds. UScellular’s Community Connections program allows K-12 youth organizations to
earn money for equipment, travel and resources completely online by doing simple, digital
activities. Organizers can register their group at communityconnections.uscellular.com to start
earning up to $1,000 in sponsorship support.
Melissa McIntyre with UScelluar said with the news release, “With school activities underway across Bladen County, area youth groups are looking for ways to meet budget requirements for this school year. UScellular’s Community Connections is offering North Carolina youth groups and organizations an opportunity to earn up to $1,000 for things like uniforms, equipment, instruments, travel expenses, and more.”
“We are excited to support local K-12 youth organizations in eastern North Carolina with a tech-
forward and simple platform, making it easy for them to earn funds,” said Jeremy Taylor,
director of sales for UScellular in eastern North Carolina. “We hope that through initiatives like
Community Connections, we’re able to support the goals our children and students set for
themselves and sponsor opportunities that positively affect their programs and personal
growth.”
Once registered, local K-12 non-profit academic and athletic groups can then rally their friends,
family and social networks to perform up to five digital activities within 14 days to earn
sponsorship dollars. Activities include watching a short video, visiting UScellular’s website and
answering a short survey, and each completed activity earns money directly for the organization
– up to $1,000 – and the website makes it easy to spread the word on social media.
Since launching the Community Connections program in 2015, UScellular has awarded $1.5
million to over 3,200 K-12 groups nationwide.
UScellular is proud to assist local groups that focus on sports, academics, arts, after-school
programs, dance, band, robotics and more. Join the thousands of organizations across the
country who’ve rallied to earn critical funds through Community Connections year after year.
