SAND SPRINGS, OK -- A Boys and Girls Club is getting spruced up thanks to some volunteer work.

About 75 Cox Communications employees spent Friday doing projects at the Sand Springs club on South 129^th West Avenue. The cable company workers observed Cox Connects Day by doing some needed yard work.

For the past five years, the Tulsa-area Cox office has volunteered to help different Boys and Girls Clubs.

"This is just one of the programs we do with the Salvation Army. I think it's probably the most fun ones we do. And, today it's a gorgeous day, so it's a great time to be out here. If you're basically replacing boards on a bench to painting to weeding to cleaning stuff up," said John Bowen with Cox Communications.

Cox Connects Day is a national program specifically benefiting The Boys and Girls Club.
