PRESS RELEASE: Hargray Donates 1,100 Backpacks and School Supplies to Help Hawkinsville Students

Perry, GA (September 4, 2024) – Hargray, a leading broadband communications provider, is helping families gear up for school by providing 1,100 free backpacks and school supplies at more than a dozen back-to-school events across Georgia and South Carolina. Supplies were selected by area teachers’ wish lists, to help ensure every child starts the school year with the tools needed for academic success. 

Locally, Hargray participated in the City of Perry’s Splash ‘N Bash, Hawkinsville/Pulaski County Family Connection’s Back to School Resources Expo, and the Hawkinsville Back to School Bash. Hargray associates also delivered donations to schools where events were unable to be held. 

The backpack and school supply donation is an extension of Hargray’s longtime support for students and educational institutions, which includes grants through its Charitable Giving Fund, Teacher of the Month award co-sponsorships with local radio stations and free live streaming of high school athletics. 

“Hargray is committed to the communities we serve,” said Tim Kelley, Hargray Director of Southeast Regional Operations. “Beyond providing fast, reliable internet service, Hargray strives to make a difference for our local towns and customers. We are proud to partner with so many great schools and organizations on these back-to-school events that make such an impact.” 

Hargray will be rebranding to Sparklight this fall. The company will continue its legacy of providing fast, reliable internet and neighborly local service while delivering enhanced customer self-service options and the latest technological advancements.
