Following Hurricane Irma, Sprint, its employees and SoftBank
committed $2 million to support those affected by the natural
disaster. The company also sponsored an afternoon of fun at a
Miami-Dade shelter by providing free face painting, ice cream,
charging stations and supplies to evacuees. Continuing these
support efforts, all proceeds from the phone grips will be
distributed to The Miami Foundation to address food, security,
vulnerable populations, stable housing and other immediate to
long-term needs for residents in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.
Approximately 10,000 have been produced and quantities are expected
to last through the Holiday season.
“We are excited to create something positive from the storm
debris, and use these phone grips as a symbol for the Florida
community that together we will come back stronger,” said Claudio
Hidalgo, President of the Florida, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin
Islands Region at Sprint. “We hope that through previous and
continued efforts like these and many more, we can support ongoing
needs for relief and rebuilding.”
“The message behind Sprint’s #FloridaStrong effort is an
encouraging reminder of South Florida’s resilience after
hurricanes,” said Rebecca Mandelman, Vice President for Strategy
and Engagement of The Miami Foundation. “We are pleased to have
their support through this initiative that will benefit so many
local families still in need of help to rebuild.”
