In Rhode Island, Attorney General Patrick Lynch, an alumnus of the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket, Providence Mayor David Cicilline and Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian were among the featured speakers at the partnership announcement at the Fox Point Boys & Girls Club in Providence. "This is an example of great corporate citizenship," said AG Lynch. "I'd like to commend Cox Communications for stepping up to the plate and hitting a home run for the children of Rhode Island. I know from personal experience how much the Boys & Girls Clubs offer to youngsters. Now, thanks to Cox, they'll be able to offer our kids even more." Providence, which has five branch locations, serves more than 3,300 youth in the capital city. “ Providence is proud to share in today’s announcement between Cox Communications and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, home of the country’s oldest ongoing Boys & Girls Club here in Fox Point. We understand the important role this organization has had in the city in offering a safe and fun learning environment for our children,” said Mayor Cicilline. “Together we can continue to build even more exciting opportunities for you youth.” " Technology ranks among our top magnets drawing kids into today's Boys & Girls Clubs. What Cox Communications, in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, is making possible for our kids -- especially high-speed Internet access -- is optimal use of computers now that plants the seeds for life-long appreciation and utilization,” said Anne Stern, Executive Director of Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence. “Our youngsters, many with limited or no access to computers outside of school, will grow into adults who will naturally gravitate to technology, whether for education, business, or recreation. We are thrilled to welcome Cox Communications as our partner." Cox NE GM Paul Cronin and Attorney General Patrick Lynch at the partnership announcement in Rhode Island.
