Kinetic Raises $100,000 to Benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®


Kinetic announced a $100,000 donation to support the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. The money will support finding a cure for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. This is the second year that Kinetic has helped raise funds for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Through December 31, 2021, Kinetic pledged to donate $5 for every new residential customer activation, up to $75,000, to benefit St. Jude as part of the Kinetic 4 Kids program. Additionally, Kinetic Business donated another $25,000 to St. Jude in recognition of business customers who contribute generously to their communities during the holiday season.

"Communities across our 18-state footprint count on Kinetic for fast, reliable internet but they can also count on us for local support when it matters most," said Jeff Small, president of Kinetic. "Supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is important to our teams and customers. For the second year in a row, we are humbled to be able to help St. Jude kids and their families."

Kinetic's partnership is to build awareness and raise funds to support vital research and treatment. Because of generous supporters, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped increase the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since the hospital opened over 50 years ago. Cancer doesn't stop, and neither will St. Jude.
