The New Year’s Day AT&T and USO Text Message Donation Program for Support of Military Families

The first participants of the program will be the sports fans participating in the AT&T Cotton Bowl.



The donations will be sent to the USO which is already providing free phone cards to the soldiers performing their duties away from their homes and loved ones. The donations would further help the USO to continue their support for the soldiers. It enables the soldiers to stay in touch with their relatives. The procedure of making the donation is simple. The users send USO to 740. They get a reply for confirming the donation of $2. On replying YES to 740 the customers will get a confirmation message from 740 that their donation has been made.

AT&T has been a regular supporter of the USO for the last 20 years. Already AT&T has supported USO by giving funds worth millions of dollars. This new program is just another step in further helping the USO to provide better facilities to the US soldiers. AT&T, who are the strategic partners of USO, has helped USO run the different troops support programs. He further said that the way the American citizens have supported the program is truly remarkable and this all became possible because of the people.

USO has been committed to provide facilities and entertainment to US soldiers around the world, since 1941. It has been running different welfare and moral programs to support the US troops. The programs of USO have played a vital role in uplifting the living standards of the soldiers. USO has around 130 centers, free internet facilities offered by mobile canteens, travel assistance, libraries, entertainment etc for the troops away from home. Volunteer celebrities are brought by USO to the troops to perform and raise the moral of the troops. This all shows the gratitude of the Americans which they extend towards their troops.

AT&T’s dedication to support the troops and their families has now persisted for over 85 years. The company has also supported veterans by hiring them and also the reservists when they are asked to join the troops for active duty. More than $14 million has been donated by AT&T for the troops since 2000. Out of the $14 million, $8 million has gone to the prepaid free phone cards and $6 million has been given to support the families of military personnel. A part of these funds has also been given to the non-profit organizations related to the welfare of the military. More then 70 call centers have been established by tibetan-rustic-leather-bracelets-vintage-rope-bracelet Tibetan Rustic Leather Bracelets, Vintage Rope Bracelet
