To Support the Advancement of Women’s Athletic Programs, T-Mobile Donates $700,000 to SEC Schools at T-Mobile SEC Championship Concert with Chris Young - Seite 2

Official Wireless Sponsor of the SEC

T-Mobile’s donation to women’s athletics at the SEC builds on the sponsorship the Un-carrier launched earlier this year with the SEC to be the “Official Wireless Sponsor of the SEC.” As part of this multi-year relationship, T-Mobile is the sponsor of the SEC Softball Tournament; SEC Saturday Night, SEC Network’s primetime college football franchise; and all regular-season games televised by SEC Network. In addition, T-Mobile is strengthening its commitment to the SEC with official multi-year partnerships with University of Alabama, University of Florida, University of Georgia and Texas A&M University, all represented by LEARFIELD.

“It is exciting to see T-Mobile’s commitment to women’s sports across the SEC through their support of the SEC Softball Tournament and now with this generous contribution to support women’s athletics in all 14 of our athletics departments,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. “Next year is the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which paved the way forward for progress toward opportunities in sports for women, and the SEC looks forward to working with T-Mobile to elevate stories and create conversations about the importance and value of women’s college athletics.”

T-Mobile Hometown Grants

In addition to presenting a check for $700,000 to women’s sports at the T-Mobile SEC Championship Concert, T-Mobile will announce the second group of recipients of T-Mobile Hometown Grants.

Earlier this year T-Mobile unveiled a massive pledge to bring 5G to rural America and support the people and businesses who help local communities thrive and grow. That pledge included a plan to hire 7,500 new employees in small towns and provide $25 million in grants for community development projects. In September, the Un-carrier revealed that Woodstock, Illinois, is the first Hometown Techover winner, worth $3 million for a technology upgrade to transform it into a national model for 5G speed and power for small towns everywhere.

In September, T-Mobile also announced the first batch of 25 T-Mobile Hometown Grants, which were created to help small towns jumpstart stalled community development projects and kick off new ones. Hometown Grants are designed to re-energize towns across the country and build on the strengths that make them great places to live and work. T-Mobile awards new Hometown Grants every quarter — towns around America with populations of fewer than 50,000 people are encouraged to apply.
