Audience participants were asked “do something good.” DoSomething.org mobilizes volunteers to positively influence young peoples’ lives. The request is in line with Sprint’s corporate social responsibility history and offered a chance for participants, and employees, to step up the giving when others are in need during the holiday season. To back up its commitment, Sprint presented at $25,000 check to the organization.

“Everything about yesterday’s event in Times Square was a rousing success,” said Karen Paletta, regional vice president, Sprint Consumer Sales. “We invited our competitors’ customers to bring their bills to Sprint to have their rate plan cut in half and so many did!”
