Employee Volunteerism: Cox Connects Day
The annual Cox Connects Day helps Cox employees give back to their local Boys & Girls Clubs. Cox Arizona has a history of supporting the local Boys & Girls Clubs and this day of volunteerism is a great extension of our partnership.
The Arizona Alliance of the Boys & Girls Club Techathalon event was designed to help youth in our communities gain technical fluency by providing a fun venue for them to showcase and build their technology skills through hands-on team based competitions! Cox employees volunteered to help with a number of the activities including judging the technology competition, assisting with the distribution of lunches, and supervising a booth at the Exploratorium. Cox volunteers also staffed the registration table, helped with event set-up and snapped photos of the participants. Boys and Girls Club members from around the state participate in the event.
