Promoting Volunteerism in Our Neighborhoods

Bright House Networks provides products and services that are used every day throughout our communities. We are dedicated to developing and supporting the areas we serve through volunteerism. Our employees are encouraged to give back, and help others with their time and talent as well as support the many local priorities of where we work and live.

Developing Our Community

Bright House Sports and Entertainment Facilities

Bright House Networks is a proud supporter of local development, family entertainment and events. We sponsor a variety of activities and venues. In Florida, on the University of Central Florida’s campus, thousands of students, alumni and fans can attend sporting events at the Bright House Networks Stadium. In Tampa Bay, sports fans can head over to Bright House Field. The field is the spring training home of a Major League baseball team and the permanent home of the area’s minor league franchise. Outside of Florida, we partner with the city of Bakersfield, California to bring high quality family entertainment at the Bright House Networks Amphitheatre. Across all of our Bright House Networks service areas you will find local events happening that we sponsor along with other community partners. 

Supporting Our Youth and Families

Bright Kids Network

Launched in 2006, the Bright Kids Network has focused on providing resources for children across all of our services areas. In addition to our financial commitment, we have provided services like High Speed Internet, Interactive TV, promotional on-air advertising and scholarships to Boys & Girls Clubs and other afterschool providers. To date, we have given more than $1 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

This program is an interactive approach that provides parents and children with valuable safety tips and topics on a regular basis. View our safety tips and videos.

Operation Bright Eyes

At Bright House Networks, safety is important and we are doing our part to help keep neighborhoods and residents safe. We provide basic neighborhood safety training to more than 500 of our field service employees. Should they witness any unusual activities, they can report them to the proper authorities.
