AT&T New York City Update

Here is a message from MCC Bronze Partner AT&T about their initiatives in the 5 boroughs:

Dear Friends:

It's my pleasure to share recent news about AT&T's involvement with many diverse New York City organizations from all across the five boroughs.

Our recent activities in New York spotlight our commitment to furthering innovation, educational opportunities and access to culture and the arts in New York.

I hope you can take a moment to learn more.

Kindest Regards,

Marissa Shorenstein

The Bronx
AT&T supports Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr.'s Little League tournament:
"The Borough President's Cup provides 13 and 14 year olds from across the Bronx the rare opportunity to play in a championship game at Yankee Stadium. To compete, players for each Little League had to meet a set of requirements unrelated to their performance on the field, including a B-average in school, at least 90 percent school attendance and demonstrated commitment to community service." — Bronx Borough President's Office, Sept. 19, 2012
Borough President Diaz joins AT&T to announce free WiFi at Hunts Point Riverside Park:
"Hunts Point Riverside is the 24th park location in the city to get AT&T Wi-Fi, so far, and the third in the Bronx. Diaz said the wireless service is just another selling-point for the picturesque 1.4-acre waterfront park, which he called the "oasis" of Hunts Point." — DNA Info, Aug. 21, 2012
