$500,000 Cash Donation to North Bay Fire Relief
Fund Provides Support for the Residents and Communities Comcast
Serves Throughout the Impacted Areas
Comcast NBCUniversal today announced it will donate $500,000 in
cash to the North Bay Fire Relief Fund, and almost $1 million worth
of in-kind support for the affected communities.
Comcast will produce advertising spots and donate advertising
time on its cable systems to build awareness and solicit donations
to the North Bay Fire Relief Fund. The Fund has been established to
provide much needed assistance to residents affected by the North
Bay Fires in Northern California.
“These fires are the most deadly and devastating in California’s
history and our hearts go out to all of who have been impacted,”
said Dave Watson, Senior Executive Vice President of Comcast
Corporation and President and CEO of Comcast Cable. “With this
contribution to the fire relief efforts, Comcast is supporting the
communities we serve and providing aid in the rapid recovery and
restoration of the affected areas.”
In addition to opening up its Xfinity WiFi hotspots throughout
the Northern California region, Comcast is also providing a range
of Internet, WiFi, Wireless, Phone and Video services to
evacuation/community support centers throughout the area,
installing TVs with video services at evacuation centers and
donating technology services to numerous Emergency Response and
Fire Command centers.
Throughout the areas impacted by the fires, Comcast is working
in partnership with local authorities, as well as utility and other
infrastructure and service providers to ensure that service
restoration efforts can take place quickly, while working within
safety guidelines and other incident response protocols.
