Cox Communications has a long-standing tradition of supporting the communities it serves and that was never more evident than in 2022. Last year, Cox gave over three-quarter million dollars in cash and in-kind donations to Middle Georgia charities and non-profits with a primary focus on youth, education, diversity and conservation initiatives.  

“Giving back to the areas we serve, that’s the Cox culture and we’re proud to support our neighbors,” said Caryn Frey, market vice president for Cox’s Middle Georgia market. “Not only does our company give much needed funding to local non-profits, but our employees also donate much of their time and treasure to the Middle Georgia market. It really is part of our DNA to serve our community, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team.” 

In addition to the annual corporate giving, Cox Charities, a grant program 100 percent funded by local Cox Middle Georgia employees, awarded approximately $7,000 to local non-profits and schools.  In 2022, Middle Georgia employees awarded an Innovation in Education Grant to Tattnall Square Academy. Keep Macon Bibb Beautiful and the Central Georgia Council of the Boys Scouts of America each received a Cox Charities Community Investment Grant. 

Along with the monetary support, employees served on over 25 local nonprofit boards and committees and volunteered over 800 hours to support community organizations.

Finally, after a two-year move to virtual due to the pandemic, the annual Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards Ceremony was once again held in person last year in Bibb County. Cox turned the spotlight on 34 students that were chosen by their school due to their inspirational journeys.  Whether it was overcoming a disability, tragic life event or other obstacle in life, these children were celebrated for their impact on others.
