TDS gives back to community through sponsorships, involvement

From music festivals, parades, local football teams and safety fairs, TDS employees were busy organizing, sponsoring and attending events these past few months. They even rubbed elbows with Santa Claus.

By sponsoring events, TDS builds brand recognition, gains respect among community leaders and oftentimes develops leads for future business. It also helps TDS reach a large, targeted marketplace in the communities TDS serves.
