U.S. Cellular?s Calling All Communities campaign will return for the fourth year in September.
It challenges schools to rally community support for the chance to win a share of $1 million to fund the projects their students need the most. The school that garners the most community votes will win $150,000 with the next 17 schools each receiving $50,000.
Since the program began in 2008, U.S. Cellular has awarded $3 million to 38 schools across the country. Calling All Communities champions have used their winnings in a variety of ways to strengthen the learning experience for thousands of students. Many winning schools outfitted their classrooms with new computers, improved outdated infrastructure and renovated gymnasiums, kitchens and science labs. A few gave scholarships to graduating students, while others donated some of their winnings to nonprofits around the world.
