BELLEVUE, Wash.--()--T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS):

What:

 

T-Mobile is going muy grande for Hispanic Heritage Month, America’s annual celebration of Hispanic and Latino culture and history!

 

 

 

When and Where:

 

Between September 15 and October 15 – dates that span the independence days of Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico – the Un-carrier will sponsor, host or participate in more than 80 events across the country, from public celebrations and parades to educational talks for T-Mobile employees.

 

 

 

Who:

 

America’s Hispanic community is muy importante to T-Mobile. It comprises 59.9 million people – 18% of the U.S. population – not to mention 62% of T-Mobile’s employees identify as a minority and a substantial portion of that includes Hispanic or Latino!

 

 

 

Why:

 

T-Mobile wouldn’t be the iconic Un-carrier it is without its Latino employees and customers – and America wouldn’t be the great nation it is without the contributions of Hispanics and Latinos. No hay uno without the other! #EstamosUnidos

Background:

Throughout the rest of the month, T-Mobile executives and employees will join communities across the U.S. to participate in events such as Fiestas Patrias in Houston, Dallas, and Chicago; the LA County Fair; and the Hispanic Impact Summit in Orlando.

For employees, the T-Mobile Foundation is offering two-for-one matching on donations to the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, up to $20,000 total.
