Five-time national swim champion Ariana Kukors partners with Frontier
Communications and the YMCA of Snohomish County to support local
communities
EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications recently announced its official sponsorship of
five-time national swim champion Ariana Kukors from the Puget Sound area
as she trains to compete this summer on the world’s biggest stage in
London, England.
With Kukors as a Frontier All-Star Team (FAST) ambassador, Frontier will
support the YMCA of Snohomish County to enhance visibility to the Y and
its programs for youth development, healthy living and social
responsibility. Additional funding will also be provided through the Great
Frontier Donate, a charitable program designed by Frontier to give
back to local communities.
Kukors, the world record-holder in the 200-meter long course individual
medley, welcomes Frontier’s ongoing commitment to local communities in
Washington state. “Giving back is one of the hallmarks of Frontier, as
is strengthening the communities it serves. I am proud to partner with
them in their charitable efforts with the YMCA of Snohomish County,” she
said. “The Y played a critical role in my early life as I learned to
swim, and I thank Frontier for understanding its importance in building
character for children and teens.”
“Frontier takes great pride in the communities it serves and the
employees we hire,” said Washington state Senior Vice President and
General Manager Rich Klena. “From our focus in hiring military veterans
to our dedicated 100% U.S.-based workforce, Frontier believes that
strong communities help make our nation great. This partnership with
Ariana and the YMCA reinforces our company’s Mission
and Values.”
Klena further noted, “Ariana will represent our country superbly. Her
friends and neighbors in Washington and Americans everywhere are with
her every step of the way, as is Frontier.”
