Why Giving Back is Important
Being part of a community is more than just living in the same city. To be a community, each person needs to feel that they are a valued member. They also need to be a contributing member working to improve the group. This is why giving back is so important in your community.
Living in the Greater Cincinnati area affords us with the thrills of a larger city while still living in a small town. Cincinnati has so much to offer and is a leading city in many areas including medicine and technology. Cincinnati is also one of the first areas to offer residents an app that enables them to stay connected at lightning fast speed all around the Cincinnati area.
The Connect Cincinnati app offers Fioptics Free Wi-Fi, Offers & Deals, Location-Based Recommendations, and access to exclusive content for local attractions in and around Cincinnati.
Cincinnati is always working on cultivating a community while being a leader in growth, development and innovation. The new app, Connect Cincinnati combines the community feeling with the latest technology, resulting in a powerful way for the people and business’ to stay connected.
Not many people know that Cincinnati is also called then Queen City. It has a long past that is rich in culture and history. Cincinnati Bell is one of the few business ventures that has served this city for over 140 years. Their history and ties to the area are part of the reason we have a strong sense of community.
As part of their latest campaign, Cincinnati Bell has partnered with My State Threads, a local state pride apparel company, to create this one-of-a-kind t-shirts highlighting our beautiful and famous Roebling Bridge.
The CincyGive campaign is an amazing program created to help major charities in our area. You can show your support by purchasing a t-shirt that represent’s the heart of Cincinnati, the Roebling Bridge, and the community of Cincinnati.
The Local charities that benefit from the t-shirt purchases in the CincyGive campaign includes:
- CancerFree KIDS: Mission is to eradicate cancer as a life-threatening disease in children.
- The Dragonfly Foundation: Supports kids, young adults, and their families as they endure cancer and bone marrow transplants.

Cincinnati Bell’s “Home” T-shirts retail for $20 and are available online at CincyG and in the Cincinnati Bell stores across the region.
What this new app and campaign means for those in the great Cincinnati area is that free Wi-Fi is now available at some of the favorite places in town including the Great American Ball Park, The Banks, U.S. Bank Arena, and Fountain Square — to name a few. You can view the entire list of places with free Wi-Fi available courtesy of Cincinnati Bell.
For me, this means I can work when I am out and about..or visiting with one of the grandkids spending some sweet grandma time.
