Last year, TCCC launched the Lowcountry Digital Equity
Coalition, a regional alliance representing businesses, governments
and other organizations dedicated to activities that ensure digital
inclusion across Greater Charleston.
The announcement comes on the heels of Charleston Mayor John
Tecklenburg proclaiming October 1 through 6 Digital Inclusion Week
in the City of Charleston, with the goal of raising awareness of
and promoting action on important digital equity solutions.
“Access to affordable high-speed internet service is essential
to the future success of all children and our economy,” said Ericka
Plater, Interim CEO of Tri-County Cradle to Career Collaborative.
“We are thankful for Comcast’s generous donation and for advocating
with us for equitable, systemic change.”
“Today’s news is another great step toward bridging the digital
divide in the South Carolina Lowcountry,” said Jason Gumbs, Comcast
Regional SVP. “We are proud to contribute to Tri-County Cradle to
Career Collaborative’s meaningful initiatives which support our
future leaders.”
