BOSTON, April 18, 2013 /3BL Media/ – The Verizon Foundation has pledged $100,000 to One Fund Boston to assist the victims of the April 15 bomb attacks and their families. The foundation also will provide a 1-to-1 match of employee online donations to One Fund Boston.

One Fund Boston was established by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to assist families most affected by the bomb attacks.

“The thoughts and prayers of Verizon employees across the globe are with the victims, families and friends affected by this senseless tragedy,” said Rose Stuckey Kirk, president of the Verizon Foundation. “Verizon’s roots in the Boston community go back more than a century, and we’re committed to supporting the community during this crisis.”

The Verizon Foundation helps people to live healthy, safe and independent lives by addressing disparities in education, health care and sustainability. Since 2000, the Verizon Foundation has invested more than half a billion dollars to improve the communities where Verizon employees work and live. Verizon's employees are generous with their donations and their time, having logged more than 6.2 million hours of service to make a positive difference in their communities.
