"Connecting" and "innovating:" two words that describe altafiber – yet two words that also describe the Cincinnati region’s engine for the arts, ArtsWave. ArtsWave has innovated from its start – as the first community-based arts campaign in the nation to now, the largest campaign of its type. ArtsWave connects us – to support the arts – and the arts connect us to create a more vibrant region to live and work. altafiber employees and leadership are key partners of ArtsWave and contributors to the overall vitality of our region. They have illustrated how "THE POWER OF THE ARTS IS IN OUR HANDS."

altafiber has been a longtime supporter of CancerFree KIDS and their partnership goes far beyond financial support. From leadership on our Board of Trustees, to providing ongoing professional expertise, to helping us spread the word about our mission, altafiber is in our DNA and we would not be the organization we are today without their support. During the pandemic, their partnership played a critical role in allowing us to effectively transition our fundraising events virtually and truly helped sustain our work. We are grateful to the entire team at altafiber and proud to partner together to help find gentler and more effective treatments for kids with cancer!

When my Dad, Buddy LaRosa, opened our first pizzeria on Boudinot Avenue in 1954, altafiber was there to help him. And we thank altafiber every day for helping us build the best Guest service tool ever in 1991, our “one number”: 347-1111. Still a key partner in 2022, we send best wishes from our family to yours on nearly 150 years: ‘Saluti’ or as we say on the west side, Cheers!
