Monday, June 3rd, 2019

WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (WOW), a leading broadband and communications service provider, and the Augusta GreenJackets, South Atlantic League affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, announced their continued commitment to the teachers of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) for the impact they are making on local students and the community as a whole.

Throughout the 2019 season, five select CSRA teachers will be honored during pre-game ceremonies at SRP Park. Each "WOW! Teacher of the Month" winner will receive $500 from WOW! for classroom expenses, four GreenJackets reserved seat tickets, four food vouchers and a commemorative plaque. WOW! is also providing an additional $500 gift card to be raffled off during the GreenJackets' "Teacher Appreciation Day" on June 6th.

"Local teachers shape the minds of our future generation, instilling valuable life lessons of respect and integrity with every student that walks through their classroom," said James Phillips, area operations manager at WOW!. "As part of our spirit of service, WOW! wanted to do even more to show local CSRA teachers how much we respect and appreciate their commitment to our children and the greater Augusta community."

"The Augusta GreenJackets were honored to present the WOW! Teacher of the Month award to five local teachers in 2018 and are thrilled to continue and expand the tradition in 2019," said Tom Denlinger, vice president of the Augusta GreenJackets. "Seeing the smiling faces of both the teachers, and the students that nominated them, at SRP Park ignites the community and the players on the field. The CSRA is beyond lucky to have such a great network of teachers that continue to give their hearts to their students and the community members in the CSRA."
