Cox’s Community Involvement: How to Access the Online Request for Support.

Cox is proud to make a difference in the communities it serves. Focusing on organizations that support youth and education, Cox Omaha provided more than $2 million dollars through cash and in-kind donations to local community organizations last year alone.
Cox believes technology is an essential component to a child's education. That's why we've developed partnerships and programs with organizations that foster this belief including:
· Cable in the Classroom which provides your child's classroom free access to cable, supporting the use of technology to expand and enhance learning for children and youth in the Omaha Metro;
· Take Charge! initiative which educates and provides parents the tools they need to keep their family safe when watching tv or playing online;
· Boys and Girls Club, Urban League of Nebraska and hundreds of other local community organizations that seek to improve the education and quality of life for disadvantaged youth in our community.
