On Saturday, April 25, more than 7,000 local Comcast
NBCUniversal employees and their families, friends and community
partners will “make change happen” as they volunteer to improve 35
Colorado nonprofits as part of the 14th annual Comcast Cares
Day.
Comcast Cares Day, which takes place each April during National
Volunteer Month, is Comcast NBCUniversal’s companywide celebration
of their year-round commitment to service and the nation’s largest
single-day corporate volunteer effort in the country.
This year, the Company expects more than 95,000 Comcast and
NBCUniversal volunteers to participate in more than 700 projects
across the country and around the globe. To date, volunteers have
contributed more than 3.7 million service hours to improve nearly
6,000 projects in the U.S. and around the world since Comcast Cares
Day started in 2001.
“Comcast Cares Day demonstrates what’s possible in a day,” said
Charisse R. Lillie, Vice President of Community Investment for
Comcast Corporation and President of the Comcast Foundation. “It
truly is amazing to see the transformations that take place when
communities mobilize to revitalize neglected neighborhood parks,
beautify schools to improve the learning environment, stock
community food banks, plant trees, install and wire computer labs
at community centers, and so much more. Each year I am inspired by
the generosity of everyone who gives back – not just on Comcast
Cares Day, but all year long.”
“We’re so proud to partner with 35 Colorado nonprofits to
improve our community during our 14th Comcast Cares Day,” added
Rich Jennings, Comcast Senior Vice President for the Mile High
Region. “The hard work of the more than 7,000 volunteers who will
be donating their time to help make such a big difference in the
lives of others is inspiring, and I am thankful to all of our
participants who are helping to make today a success.”
The Comcast Foundation will also provide grants to local
community partner organizations across the country on behalf of
everyone who volunteers on Comcast Cares Day. The grants will help
Comcast’s community partners continue their mission of serving the
community throughout the year. To date, the Comcast Foundation has
awarded more than $16 million in grants to local non-profit
organizations who have partnered with us on Comcast Cares Day.
Comcast has been committed to serving local communities since
our founding more than 50 years ago. For more information on
