RCN & ¡Sorpresa! launch essay contest.

RCN Corporation is teaming up with Juniper Content Corporation’s ¡Sorpresa! network, America‚s first Hispanic kids network, for the second year to sponsor a children’s essay-writing contest during Hispanic Heritage month. The contest, which begins September 15, 2007 through October 15, 2007, highlights the growing importance of Hispanic heritage.

“RCN recognizes the important part that heritage plays in our customer‚s lives,” noted RCN SVP of Strategic and External Affairs Richard Ramlall. “Hispanic Heritage Month is the perfect time for us to spotlight the contributions that heritage brings to our culture, and the children’s essay contest is a fun way to increase awareness.”
