Business Byte: Four charities to benefit from Digicel’s top up and donate promotion

As part of its promise to move its communities forward in a positive way, Digicel today launched a brand new Top-up promotion in which it will donate 20% of the value of every Top-up transaction to four needy Dominican charities – Infirmary, House of Hope, Workshop for the Blind, Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities.

Today, Thursday 7th June, Digicel prepaid customers who Top-up will be supporting these four charities, because when a customer Tops-up today, Digicel will donate 20% of the value of the Top-up to the charities in cash. So, for example, if a customer Tops-up with $10, Digicel will donate $2 in cash to the charities.

Digicel Dominica Country Manager, Richard Stanton, said; “As part of our promise to give back to our communities, we are proud to be donating 20% of the value of every single Digicel Top-up today to four worthy charities. We are particularly excited about this Top-up promotion as our customers directly impact the value of the donation – the more Top-up transactions that take place today, the more money we will donate to these charities. As such, we are encouraging all customers to –Top-up today and know that 20% of the value of their Top-up will be donated in cash by Digicel.”

Digicel is also encouraging its loyal postpaid customers to support this worthy cause by simply making a contribution in a special box provided at the Digicel Flagship store on Corner of Great George and Great Marlborough Steet or at the Corporate Office on Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard.

Customers can Top-up at any local vendor nearest to them on Thursday 7th June, 2012. The lucky four charities qualified for this donation will be announced on the Kairi FM, DBS and Q95 radio stations by 13th June.
