Comwave Supports Japan Relief Efforts By Matching Customer Contributions

Mar 16 2011

Comwave, Canada’s largest privately owned telecommunications company, today announced an initiative to support the Japan relief effort, and enable customers to make a difference as well.

Effective immediately, every Comwave home phone and long distance customer can make a donation of up to $5 to the Japan appeal through their Comwave account. Customers will see their contribution matched by Comwave, thereby doubling their donation. Every dollar raised will go directly to the Red Cross.

“We at Comwave extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the earthquake in Japan, and to families locally who are concerned for their loved ones back home,” said Abe Benitah, Vice President. “In support of Red Cross and other relief organizations in Japan, we are encouraging all of our customers to make a difference.”

Comwave customers can make their donation by calling Comwave at 1-866-284-2624.
