T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today committed up to $1 million to support communities impacted by Hurricane Fiona and Ian and other natural disasters with Team Rubicon — a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during and after disasters strike. Throughout the MLB Postseason, T-Mobile will donate $5,000 for every home run — and with games already underway, that’s $265,000 already in the pot. Also starting today through the Fall Classic, everyone (T-Mobile customer or not) can help out by texting “RELIEF” to 595959 and T-Mobile will donate $5 on your behalf, all up to $1 million.\nThis press release features multimedia.

That’s why we’re accelerating Team Rubicon’s recovery efforts,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “Team Rubicon shares T-Mobile’s commitment to serving communities in their times of need, and it’s a privilege to support their life-changing work.”\n\nToday’s commitment follows T-Mobile’s previous efforts with Team Rubicon during the 2017 and 2018 MLB Postseasons, which helped expand Team Rubicon’s Rebuild program — enabling the rebuilding of over 500 hurricane-resilient roofs in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2018, as well as 40 hurricane-resilient homes in Immokalee, Fla. Along with donations following the Un-carrier’s #HatsOff4Heroes campaign during All-Star Week in 2018, T-Mobile has donated over $5.8 million to Team Rubicon to-date. Fans can expect to see more from the Un-carrier supporting Team Rubicon’s efforts through this World Series whether they’re at the stadium or tuning into the broadcast from home.\n\n\"T-Mobile’s support of our m...
