Nokia gives $250,000 for Mission Reach enhancements

(August 29, 2008) SAN ANTONIO – Finland-based Nokia, a global leader in mobile communications and the world’s number one device manufacturer, donated $250,000 to the San Antonio River Foundation to support enhancements to the Mission Reach. The corporation has taken a special interest in the San Antonio River Park because Nokia celebrates art, culture and education and supports nature conservation, all of which are embodied by the project. Nokia is the first international company to donate to the San Antonio River Foundation.

Nokia became aware of the San Antonio River Foundation and its works through its business relationship as a supplier for AT&T, a major sponsor of the San Antonio River Foundation.
