July 27 2023 - 9:00AM
SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq: SURG) (“SurgePays” or the “Company”), a
technology and telecommunications company focused on the
underbanked and underserved, announced today that its distribution
partner, ParichuteConnect, has signed a partnership agreement with
the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Native Services. BGCA Native
Services is a dedicated group of leaders that works tirelessly to
provide culturally relevant support to Boys & Girls Clubs on
Native Lands. They are committed to addressing the challenges and
issues unique to Native communities while celebrating their unique
strengths.
The partnership agreement allows
ParichuteConnect to launch an Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
enrollment process using SurgePays’ platform for Boys & Girls
Clubs members on Native Lands.
Carla Knapp, National VP of Native Services for
Boys and Girls Clubs on Native Lands, stated, “I don’t know that
there is a more important role of our Native Services than to be
certain our 120,000 members and 250 clubs are fully connected and
informed about the world around us. We chose Parichute and
SurgePays because they offered superior customer service and
enrollment procedures.”
Vy Bui, President and CEO of ParichuteConnect
added, “We are able to offer this gateway to the ACP and superior
internet carriage and service because of our wireless partner,
SurgePays. We are absolutely thrilled to be connecting Native
Lands’ Clubs.”
ACP eligibility is open to households that
benefit from government programs like the free school lunch
program, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP), and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC).
“Partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of
America is a great privilege. Their tradition of providing
much-needed financial and lifestyle solutions to our country’s
youth is one that SurgePays is proud to be affiliated with and
doesn’t take lightly,” said Jeremy Gies, President of SurgePays
Fintech. “Bringing essential wireless services to an establishment
that embodies the fabric of what our great nation represents is a
core mission for SurgePays and forging this relationship with Boys
& Girls Clubs brings us one step further towards achieving that
goal.”
