Seven Delaware nonprofits receive $77,500 from the Verizon Foundation and Verizon Wireless
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which is observed in October, seven Delaware nonprofit organizations will receive $77,500 from the Verizon Foundation - the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications - and Verizon Wireless to support existing domestic violence prevention and education programs and help create new ones.
Verizon Wireless announced it invested more than $185 million in 2009 to enhance its digital network in Pennsylvania with enhancements that include building 78 new cell sites and upgrading equipment on hundreds of existing cell sites to increase coverage and capacity of the company's voice and 3G high-speed wireless network.
