On March 9, 2017, ImOn Communications celebrates its 10^th year serving the Cedar Rapids community. Not only have we provided quality high-speed Internet, cable TV, and phone service to our residential and business customers the past 10 years, we have also grown as a company, invested in infrastructure and technology, and supported the communities we serve.

To mark our 10^th anniversary, we wanted to share a few fun facts you may not know about ImOn.

1. When we started the company 10 years ago, the top 3 company name choices were, ImOn Communications, Mable Cable, and Quix Net. ImOn Communications won the vote and as they say, the rest is history.
2. ImOn started with 37 employees and we have now grown to over 100 employees.
3. 3,854 customers have been with us the entire 10 years. Thanks for your loyalty!
4. ImOn employees deliver meals once a month for Horizon’s Meals on Wheels program. Each year, more than 1,000 meals are delivered to seniors in our community.
5. ImOn has won the Corridor Business Journal’s “Best Internet Service Provider” award 6 times.
6. In 2016, ImOn sponsored or participated in 133 local community events.
7. ImOn Customer Care is comprised of 14 people located right here in Cedar Rapids. They help, on average, 8,278 customers per month. And did you know the busiest day in ImOn Customer Car is Monday?
8. ImOn’s network is comprised of over 640 miles of fiber optics, coax, and copper. Did you know ImOn was the first company to offer Fiber-to-the-home service in Cedar Rapids! That includes 1GIG (1,000Mb) Internet speed!
9. In the flood of 2008, lmOn lost 14% of our customers and 2 hub sites due to the flooding. But in the flood of 2016, ImOn didn’t lose anything!

To celebrate our 10^th anniversary, ImOn will have several fun customer events and giveaways throughout the year. Here is just a preview:

- ImOn March Gladness Nonprofit Bracket Challenge

At ImOn Communications, we believe in supporting and investing in the communities we serve. We pride ourselves in actively giving back and supporting our local schools, cultural organizations, service groups, and nonprofits. So it would only make sense that we do something BIG for our community in honor of our 10th Anniversary on March 9, 2017.

Since our 10th Anniversary falls in line with the NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament, we have decided to hold a “March Gladness Nonprofit Bracket Challenge” on ImOn’s Facebook page. For this challenge, 8 local nonprofits will compete for community votes for a chance to win a $500 donation from ImOn Communications. The nonprofits participating are: Eastern Iowa Honor Flight, Four Oaks, Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa, Last Hope Animal Rescue, Matthew 25, Young Parents Network, Bridgehaven, and Willis Dady.

We invite you to like our ImOn Facebook page, and visit each day, March 14^th -24^th, to vote for your favorite nonprofit and help them win $500. For more information visit www.MyImOn.com/MarchGladness
