Connecting Homes, Supporting Neighbors: New Partnership Launches in Gaines County
Internet provider Resound Networks teams with local nonprofit Blue Skies Mutual Aid to expand connectivity while supporting families in need.
SEMINOLE, TX – July 14, 2025 – Resound Networks and Blue Skies Mutual Aid are proud to announce a groundbreaking community partnership that will expand high-speed internet access across Gaines County while generating vital funding for local families in need.
The partnership officially launches on Friday, July 18th at the Blue Skies Mutual Aid Groundbreaking celebration, featuring a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Seminole Chamber of Commerce at 11:45 AM at 104 SW Ave C in Seminole.
How the Partnership Works
Under this innovative community partnership, every new Resound customer who signs up through the program automatically generates $150 for Blue Skies Mutual Aid – funding that directly supports essential community services for local families. Customers receive reliable high-speed internet service starting at $55 per month, while Blue Skies receives sustainable funding to expand their vital community programs.
“We’re excited to partner with Blue Skies because they share our commitment to serving communities that have often been overlooked,” said Tyson Curtis, CEO at Resound Networks. “This partnership allows us to do what we do best – connect families to reliable internet – while supporting an organization that’s making a real difference in people’s lives.”

Addressing Critical Community Needs
Blue Skies Mutual Aid serves residents across Gaines, Yoakum, Andrews, Terry, and Dawson counties, providing essential services including emergency food assistance, hygiene supplies, baby formula, medical equipment loans, and housing and employment support. The partnership addresses two critical needs in rural communities: reliable internet access and comprehensive support for families facing various challenges.
“Access to high-speed internet is no longer a luxury – it’s essential for work, education, healthcare, and staying connected with family,” said Jake Froese, Operations Director for Blue Skies Mutual Aid. “This partnership helps us expand our reach while ensuring more families in our community have the connectivity they need to thrive.”
Community Impact Goals
The organizations have set an initial goal of connecting 100 new families to high-speed internet while generating $15,000 for Blue Skies community programs. This funding will significantly expand the nonprofit’s ability to serve local families through their comprehensive assistance programs, including emergency aid, medical equipment access, and employment support services.
The partnership launches at Blue Skies Mutual Aid’s groundbreaking celebration on Friday, July 18th at their office location (104 SW Ave C, Seminole, TX). The Seminole Chamber of Commerce will conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:45 AM, with a volunteer-organized bake sale running from 9 AM to 5 PM to raise additional funds for Blue Skies programs.
Community members are invited to attend the event, learn about the partnership, and sign up for internet service that supports local families. Resound representatives will be on-site to answer questions and provide information about available plans and installation services.
