Cox is an active investor in the communities we serve. Our commitment to the Roanoke Valley isn’t just a slogan or a few words pulled from our vision statement, it is something we believe in and act on each day. It's an important part of our culture and who we are as a community.

Cable in the Classroom  [Official Site]

Cox is proud to be a founding member of Cable in the Classroom, a national initiative designed to improve education by providing complimentary access to educational cable programming. Through our commitment, private and public schools in our communities receive a complimentary cable connection providing commercial-free programming each month - all geared to provide teachers with lively, curriculum-rich resources to inspire learning. Our cable network partners reformat programming to help make it teacher- and kid-friendly, as well as adaptable in the classroom according to national standards.

United Way of Roanoke Valley              

Cox is a proud supporter of United Way of Roanoke Valley through the annual Community Campaign. For 16 years now, Cox Roanoke employees have risen to the challenge of positively impacting our community as participants in the United Way campaign.

The 2007 Community Campaign raised $31,301 exceeding Cox’s financial goal with an increase in almost 16% for employee participation. $31,301 represents the contributions of Cox employees in Roanoke with a matching gift from Cox. In order to meet these goals, Cox employees rallied around a competitive office-wide silent auction and indulged in a Krispy Kreme doughnut sale in addition to conventional payroll deductions and flat donations to the campaign.

The 2007 Community Campaign theme, “Without you, there’s no way” served as a reminder that working together yields greater results. Funds raised during the United Way campaign will be invested in 2008 in health and human service programs in Botetourt, Craig and Roanoke counties, and Roanoke, Salem and Vinton. The United Way’s mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of people in our community.
