Indianapolis, IN, June 18, 2005—The March of Dimes announces it is one of five community organizations to benefit from the Brighthouse Networks Bright Community Campaign that is taking place from June 18th through July 5th in all communities served by Brighthouse Networks in Indiana.

“The March of Dimes is grateful to be included in this generous donation by Brighthouse Networks,” says Tim Arndt, March of Dimes Indiana Chapter.  “They are not selling anything extra.  They aren’t adding anything to a bill.  It’s simple.  Brighthouse Networks is donating a portion of installation fees on any new service, cable upgrade or reconnection for new or existing customers, including high speed Internet to five local charities.  The March of Dimes does not receive funding from United Way or the government.  It is through individuals and community minded companies, like Brighthouse Networks and others, that the March of Dimes is able to fund research and community programs that save babies’ lives.”

If you live in the Brighthouse Networks service area and are considering switching to cable, upgrading your service, or adding high speed Internet service to your home in Indianapolis and surrounding communities contact Brighthouse Networks customer service at 972-9700.  In Marion, call 765-662-0071.

The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
