TDS Telecom Holds Third Annual Week of Giving Campaign

“Supporting our TDS communities has never been more important,” said Drew Petersen, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs. “Whether showing this support through in-kind donations, financial assistance, or our associate’s philanthropic efforts, we hope this Week of Giving will inspire others to give back to their own communities throughout the holiday season.”
