STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Frontier Communications is a Platinum Sponsor for the fast-approaching Connecticut Open presented by United Technologies, being held August 15-23, 2014 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale. The tournament is a WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) event that is part of the Emirates Airline U.S. Open Series.
Beginning Sunday, August 17, Frontier will have a booth staffed by employees and job recruiters ready to tell visitors more about the company’s products and services and career opportunities. In addition, Frontier will have daily events and activities that include:
SUNDAY, August 17 is KIDS DAY. The first 1,000 children at the stadium entrance will receive a goody bag that will include a sponge bull of Frontier’s brand ambassador “Frank the Buffalo.” Little Frank will be the perfect thing to `clutch’ during the nerve-wracking tie breakers and matches that are sure to occur throughout this premiere event.
MONDAY, August 18 is Military Appreciation Night. As a 100 percent U.S.-based company, Frontier Communications is proud to salute those who serve our country. Veterans and reservists comprise 11 percent of Frontier’s workforce, and Frontier is a 2014 “Top 100” Military Friendly Employer and an active member of Joining Forces, the Military Spouse Employer Partnership, The WorkPlace in Connecticut, the 100,000 Jobs Mission and Honor and Remember.
The mission of Honor and Remember is to create, establish and promote a nationally recognized flag as a visible reminder of the lives lost in action or in service in defense of our freedom. Frontier is committed to sponsoring more than 50 flags across the United States and has presented Honor and Remember flags to five Connecticut families. On Monday, August 18 at 6:30 p.m., Frontier will sponsor the presentation of an Honor and Remember flag to the parents of Pvt. Sam Mercouriou of Suffield, Connecticut. Pvt. Mercouriou, age 18, died on December 8, 2011 at Fort Benning, Georgia. The ceremony at the Connecticut Still Revolutionary Stage will commemorate this young soldier’s service in the Connecticut Army National Guard and to his country.
August 17-23 attendees will enjoy LUCKY ROW, a tournament-long event that singles out a row of eight during each of the 12 sessions. The winners will enjoy the tournament even more perched on their Frontier Seat Cushions. The company will also have Booth giveaways and job hiring information at the Tournament Plaza Stage as well as FREE phone charging at the Frontier Charging Station.
The Connecticut Open is an excellent opportunity for the public to learn more about Frontier Communications, says Dan McCarthy, President and Chief Operating Officer. He noted, “Frontier’s corporate headquarters has been in Connecticut since 1946, but we will have a dramatically higher profile upon completion of our transaction to acquire AT&T’s wireline business and statewide fiber network that provides services to residential, commercial and wholesale customers in Connecticut. Frontier will also acquire AT&T’s U-verse video and satellite TV customers in Connecticut.” McCarthy added, “The Connecticut Open is a perfect occasion to introduce ourselves on a broad scale. We are a Connecticut company that is 100 percent U.S.-based, hires locally and believes in local engagement. We know Frontier will be a great match for Connecticut and look forward to introducing ourselves to Open attendees.”
