Cincinnati Bell

 If you are using Cincinnati Bell services or if you add on or switch to Cincinnati Bell, you can earn money for our school for just having the service! Please take a moment and register.  Below are online instructions.  Attached you will find the paper registration.    You can also urge grandparents and other friends and family to register - just send them this link.  

Cincinnati Bell believes that the success of our community is directly tied to the continued growth and performance of area schools. In support of this philosophy we have launched the Cincinnati Bell Learn (CB Learn) program. CB Learn is a fundraising program designed to help fund items that aren't traditionally budgeted for such as, trips, uniforms, instruments and much more.  If you know someone that is using Cincinnati Bell services they could be earning money for our school.  Here's how CB Learn works:

• The school will receive $10 for every household that enrolls in CB Learn and makes a school designation.
• Enrollment is FREE - customers can stop by any Cincinnati Bell retail store to designate your school or Register Now.
• Revenue Sample - If a school has 1000 students enrolled and 25% of those students' households enroll in CB Learn, that school will earn a minimum of $2,500. The amount grows as registrations increase.
• Cincinnati Bell will significantly increase the donation if these same customers sign up for new products and services from Cincinnati Bell.
• New local service w/LD from CB - $25 one time donation
• New ZoomTown® internet connection - $50 one time donation
• New wireless service $100 one time donation - with only 10 new activations your school can earn $1,000.

• Home phone service with Cincinnati Bell and e-Bill.

• E-Bill customers receive their monthly phone bill via email instead of through the postal service. (Cincinnati Bell offers most customers a $3.00/mo. discount with e-bill).
