TDS Hometown Hero honors community advocate

The TDS Hometown Hero Award honors individuals making a difference in the community, and it especially aims to highlight unsung heroes.

We recently surprised Tess Reasor of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with the award. Tess is a dedicated champion for mental health, recovery, and community support who founded a nonprofit group called 208 Recovery North, which helps those recovering from substance abuse and behavioral health disorders.

As part of the presentation, TDS made a $1,000 donation to 208 Recovery. Watch the video above for more, and visit the organization online at 208Recovery.org.

Mark is a manager of communications for TDS Telecom. Prior to TDS, he worked for 10 years as a journalist and four years in local government. When he's not writing blogs, you might find him at a live music venue, bike trail or baseball stadium. Mark lives in Chicago with Jordan and Pippin (his wife and cat -- not the Bulls legends).
