Allo donates $3,800 to Norfolk Public Schools from customer signups
Summary
Allo Communications presented a $3,800 check to Norfolk Public Schools generated by new customer signups during a November-December promotion; company representatives said the funds may be used at the board's discretion.
Allo Communications presented Norfolk Public Schools with a $3,800 donation on Monday that the company said was generated by new customer signups during a November-December promotion.
Dave Miller, Allo general manager, told the board Allo ran an "ALLO for Education" program in which the company donated $50 to a school chosen by each new customer who signed up in participating communities during November and December. Across Allo's communities, the company said it donated a total of $193,000; the Norfolk community selected Norfolk Public Schools, resulting in a $3,800 check to the district.
Miller said Allo placed no stipulation on how the money must be used. "There's no stipulation as to how it can be used. So it's completely up to the board and how you'd like to use that," Miller said. He described the donation as part of Allo's local engagement strategy: "It's not always about profit. It's about purpose."
Dr. Jamie Jo Thompson accepted the donation on behalf of the district and thanked Allo for supporting Norfolk Public Schools. The check presentation was a non-action agenda item; photo opportunities and a brief thank-you followed the presentation.
