Cox Central Region Sponsorship Request

At Cox, community service is more than just a corporate commitment — it’s a way of life for our employees and a part of our company culture. Our founder James Cox believed in the value of building and investing in the communities we serve and more than 100 years later, that culture still thrives throughout our organization.

We know now, more than ever, there is important work to be done in our communities and we know it cannot be done alone. That’s why Cox is proud to partner with hundreds of nonprofit organizations in addressing the critical needs of our community.
