ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider, today announced the company has made a $15,000 donation to the American Red Cross to support its markets' neighboring communities that were affected by recent tornadoes. The money will help the Red Cross to rebuild and rehabilitate the affected communities following the devastation caused by the tornadoes.

None of WOW!'s markets were damaged by the storms.

The American Red Cross is one of several organizations that has stepped in to provide emergency relief to those who have been affected and displaced by these tornadoes, providing food, shelter and support to those in need.

"We are saddened by the recent tornadoes in the midwest and south that have caused such unimaginable devastation," said Teresa Elder, CEO of WOW!. "We hope that our donation to the American Red Cross can provide some peace of mind to our neighbors in these areas and help in some small way to move disaster relief efforts along."
