AT&T has made a $1 million donation to The One Fund Boston. The company has also created a toll-free number for One Fund, 855-617-FUND, so that people are able to make direct contact and learn how to request support.  

AT&T customers who want to support One Fund Boston can text BOSTON to 80108 to give $10. The donation will be charged on their monthly AT&T bill.

In the past four days, AT&T customer text donations have exceeded $25,000.
