Diane Percell Gumbs emerged as the proud recipient of a brand-new Samsung Refrigerator, courtesy of Flow’s highly anticipated “Bring the Joy” Christmas promotions. She became the latest in a line of fortunate customers who reaped the rewards of timely bill payments and new subscriptions.
Percell Gumbs, an existing Flow customer, clinched the coveted prize after demonstrating impeccable financial diligence by settling her bill in full and on time. This victory places her alongside previous winners: Robert Philip, who secured a Samsung 30” Gas Range Stove, and George and Sharon James, proud owners of a Samsung Top Load Washer.
Joining the winners’ circle are Shyril Smith, Rhonani Hypolite, Shaquana Vanterpool, Tameika Campbell, Candice Nichol, Jamal Herbert, and Cameron Creigh. Each reveled in the thrill of winning Apple iPads. Their triumphs were the result of engaging with various Flow services, including prepaid, postpaid, bundle, or internet plans.
The “Bring the Joy” promotion, which spanned from November 10 to December 22, provided customers with automatic entry to win weekly prizes, including Apple iPads, car raffle tickets for a chance to win a 2024 Changan UNI-T vehicle, as well as Samsung stoves and refrigerators. Entry requirements included activating a new prepaid plan, timely bill payments, and signing up for new postpaid, internet, or bundle services.
Beyond the excitement of individual wins, Flow teamed up with the Lions Club of Tortola and the Rotary Club of Central Tortola to donate toys and grocery vouchers, supporting their respective annual Christmas Food and Toy Drives.
Chairperson for the Lions Hunger Committee, Lion Kisha Frett, expressed gratitude for the $500 worth of grocery vouchers, noting that they were instrumental in complementing Christmas Hampers for families with special dietary needs and restrictions. The donation underscored Flow’s dedication to making a tangible impact on communities during the holiday season.
Nadia A. James, the Marketing and Communications Coordinator, expressed Flow’s pleasure in collaborating with these esteemed organizations. She stated, “Flow is pleased to have collaborated with these organizations during the Christmas season to give back to our communities in a tangible way and help bring joy to families across the Territory.”
The generous donations were strategically utilized in the Clubs’ distribution drives throughout the community, further enhancing the holiday season for families in need. Flow’s multifaceted approach, combining individual customer incentives with community outreach, reflects a holistic commitment to fostering joy and goodwill during the festive season.
