Team members in all regions celebrate company's commitment to community volunteerism by assisting and supporting local non-profits and charitable organizations

WESTFORD, Massachusetts, Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global leader in secure and intelligent cloud communications, today announced that employees around the world will be participating in community volunteer activities as part of the company's first annual Ribbon Day. Ribbon Day is a Global Day of Service during which Ribbon team members will spend assisting and supporting non-profit agencies and organizations all around the world.

"October 30th will be the one-year anniversary of a historic merger of two former leading technology companies Sonus and GENBAND, resulting in the creation of Ribbon Communications – so we wanted to mark this special occasion by encouraging our employees to spend what is typically a work day giving back to the communities in which they live and work," said Fritz Hobbs, President and Chief Executive Officer for Ribbon. "Volunteering at non-profit organizations and helping those in need is something that many of our employees are already very passionate about and volunteerism is a big part of our commitment to supporting our local communities. Providing our team members around the world with the opportunity to spend the day volunteering at organizations that mean the most to them is really what Ribbon Day is all about."

"We are honored to have the continued support of the Ribbon, and former GENBAND team as they join us once again for their Global Day of Service. They have volunteered with us in a number of capacities over the last eight years, ranging from helping at our annual Food Aid BBQ to supporting us in our warehouse," says Jo-Anne Turple, Ottawa Food Bank's Volunteer Coordinator. "With 38,400 people in our community who require emergency food assistance from their food bank, we wouldn't be able to do it without the support of our volunteers like the employees at Ribbon."
