LONGVIEW, Texas (Jan. 7, 2025)– Sparklight®, a leading broadband provider, recently awarded a $2,500 grant to Texas Special Children’s Projects through the company’s Charitable Giving Fund. The organization was one of 24 nonprofits across Sparklight’s 24-state footprint that received grants totaling more than $125,000 during the most recent award period.
The Charitable Giving Fund, which awards $250,000 in grants annually, concentrates support in the following priority areas:

- Community Development
This grant season, Sparklight also extended support to organizations devoted to veterans’ outreach, elder care, afterschool programs, community safety, animal advocacy and more.
“Sparklight is proud to support the nonprofits that make a meaningful difference in our community,” said Kenny Walker, Sparklight Senior Regional Director South Central. “These organizations are essential to strengthening the cities and towns we serve, and we are grateful for the opportunity to amplify their efforts. Together, we can bring vital resources and support to those who need it most.”
Texas Special Children’s Projects used the grant to purchase toys and gifts for individuals with special needs, to help brighten the season.
“Texas Special Children’s Projects is so appreciative of the generous grant from Sparklight,” said Billy Hill, Texas Special Children’s Projects Vice President. “These funds have enriched the lives of more than 60 of our underprivileged clients through special gifts and a dinner at our Longview Christmas Party. This financial support was greatly needed during the holiday season and these gifts mean so much to them.”
