AT&T Text-to-Donate Option Provides Additional Ways to Support Relief, Recovery

DALLAS, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of Texas and Oklahoma have experienced destructive tornadoes and record setting rainfall that has led to flooding, many deaths and missing Texans and Oklahomans. AT&T today announced a $150,000 donation to the American Red Cross in support of its disaster relief and storm recovery efforts across affected communities in both states.

"While we can never truly replace what is lost, we at AT&T Texas are working to help these communities pick themselves up and move forward. We understand how critical communication and information are during and after a natural disaster, so we are also continuing to monitor our networks to keep customers connected and minimize service disruptions," said David Nichols, president, AT&T Texas.

"It is times like these that test our resolve, resiliency and strength as individuals and as a community. Oklahomans come through for each other in times of need. And with your help, this time will be no different," said Steve Hahn, president, AT&T Oklahoma. "We know that staying connected during severe weather events is critically important to consumers, businesses and our emergency management officials, which is why our teams have been working tirelessly - monitoring and reinforcing our network."

AT&T is also launching a text-to-give donation program benefiting the Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
