Community Impact: For every person who signs up for internet with Anthem Broadband, the company will donate $100 directly to Spring Creek High School to support student-athletes during regional competition.

CONTEXT: This marks another community-forward initiative from Anthem Broadband, the fiber and wireless provider that has steadily embedded itself in Spring Creek since completing its fiber deployment across the area. The company, which received backing from Nevada Gold Mines’ I-80 Fund for rural connectivity, has maintained visibility at events like the Elko Home Show, Spring Creek Rodeo, and Elko County Fair.

The partnership with Mudd Hutt—the beloved Spring Creek coffee spot known for its community-first approach—and Spring Creek High School students and administration creates what Anthem calls “an unforgettable game-night experience that gives back in a meaningful way.”

For Spring Creek High School, the timing is strategic. February marks the final stretch of NIAA 3A league play before playoffs, and the donations will help provide additional support and resources for student-athletes as they compete at the regional level.

“We’re excited to team up with Spring Creek High School, its students and staff, and Mudd Hutt to create a fun halftime moment that also supports an important cause,” said Jacob Larsen, CEO of Anthem Broadband. “Our goal is to strengthen the communities we serve, and we’re proud to stand behind Spring Creek athletes as they head into regional competition. We can’t wait to see the crowd show up, sign up, and cheer them on.”
