We work to create an outstanding customer
experience in every way, including by supporting
the people and organizations that make our
communities succeed.
The culture at U.S. Cellular is deeply service
oriented, with our associates constantly seeking
new and innovative ways to meet customers
evolving data and communications needs. As an
example, this past year, some of our associates in
Maine partnered with a local school system to
teach our customers there how to use their
smartphones and share tips to help them get things
done faster. Since 2009, we have annually donated
$1 million to local elementary and secondary
schools to provide a better learning experience for
students and teachers. During our 2014 Calling All
Teachers program, U.S Cellular donated $1 million
to more than 1,740 teacher projects and positively
impacted more than 153,800 students.

We brought “Shark Tank” to our local communities
and gave access to entrepreneurs to pitch their
ideas to experts and have the chance to grow their
business. We sponsored three “Shark Tank
Casting Calls in cities where the show had never
been before: Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Des Moines,
Iowa; and Greenville, North Carolina. We then

of “Shark Tank” to observe aspiring entrepreneurs
make their pitches, meet show insiders, and
ask questions.
We would be remiss in not taking this opportunity
to thank all of our associates at U.S. Cellular who
build these community connections and provide
our customers with outstanding service. Without
their dedication and hard work, we would not have
achieved so much this past year.
