The AT&T Foundation is helping Son of a Saint transform the lives and futures of fatherless boys through a $25,000 contribution to support academic intervention programing and bridging the digital divide.
The contribution from the AT&T Foundation will support technology-based initiatives including tutoring, remedial classes, and Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) programs, as well as mentoring.
“Our mission is to equip boys with the tools they need to become productive men with hope, vision and the opportunity for a positive future,” said Bivian “Sonny” Lee III, Founder and CEO of Son of a Saint. “Support from leaders like Sheriff Gusman, as well as corporate citizens like AT&T, illustrates how we can change the future by working together as a community today.”
“While our investment in our wired and wireless networks that keep people and communities connected is most obvious, we also invest in people and their futures.”
