Socket Participates in Woodhaven Golf Tournament
It was a beautiful day for some golf! We were so glad to get out and play a round in support of Woodhaven.
Woodhaven is a nonprofit organization here in Columbia that works to help adults with intellectual and developmental abilities succeed.
Socket Sponsors Dream Factory Poker Tournament
On Friday, April 14th, Socket was a sponsor for the Dream Factory Poker Tournament which took place at Cub Impulse to benefit the Dream Factory of Central Missouri. For the last nine years, the annual poker tournament has raised enough money to provide dreams to children with chronic and critical illnesses.
Socket Dives into Polar Plunge
A brave group of Socketeers made a valiant late-winter dip into Bass Pro Lake this weekend. Unfortunately, we can report that despite the unusually warm weather we had on Saturday, the water in Bass Pro Lake was still pretty cold!
The good news is that this swim was for a great cause, as our group braved the waters for Special Olympics Missouri.
Socket Participates in 6th Annual Float Your Boat
Float Your Boat is a community-focused event that allows teams to build boats solely out of cardboard, decorate them uniquely, and then race them across the lake in hopes that they don't sink before they cross the finish line. Unfortunately, we can report that despite the unusually warm weather we had on Saturday, the water in Bass Pro Lake was still pretty cold!
Still, we were happy to participate in the Float your Boat event in support of the Food Bank of Central and Northern Missouri. While we didn't come away with a trophy once again, we had a great time!
2017 Columbia Business Showcase
Yesterday, Socket attended the Columbia Business Showcase put on by the Chamber of Commerce. We had a great time, as always, at the Holiday Inn Executive Center networking with local businesses and community members, many of whom were already happy customers. While there, our representatives also fielded questions about fiber, hosted phone systems, and internet in general.
If you missed us there, but still had some questions about our Fiber network or Cloud services, don’t fret! We’re happy to help you out – just give us a call at 1-800-SOCKET-3, or visit our Get-a-Quote page to request a quote for your business.
Fall 2016 Adopt-A-Spot Cleanup
Yesterday, 15 Socket volunteers cleaned up Clark Lane for our final Adopt-A-Spot cleanup before the winter season. The area outside our office is looking a lot cleaner now that it is free of trash and litter.
We collected a total of 25 bags of trash and one worn out tire from the roadside. Our community involvement would not be possible without our awesome employees so thank you to everyone who volunteered!
Socket Sponsors the Countdown to Kickoff!
Socket was a proud sponsor of the 2016 Countdown to Kickoff fundraiser that took place on August 24. The fundraiser benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Missouri. The evening was presented by Columbia Insurance Group and the University of Missouri Football Program and consisted of live and silent auctions, as well as remarks from Coach Barry Odom regarding the Tigers’ upcoming season.
As a sponsor for this year’s fundraiser, Socket was able to contribute to the proceeds raised for disadvantaged children in Mid-Missouri. Thanks to the silent and live auction as well as generous donations, a total of 110 children will be supported from an adult role model over the next year in the Big Brother Big Sister program.
