Comcast Cares Day is more than just a day – it’s the culmination
of Comcast NBCUniversal’s commitment to volunteerism that began
when the company was founded more than 50 years ago. From using
technology to create positive change, such as wiring community
centers and libraries and teaching digital literacy skills, to
mentoring youth, to beautifying parks, Comcast NBCUniversal
employees volunteer on this day, and throughout the year, to make a
lasting impact. This year, more than 100,000 volunteers
participated in approximately 900 projects across the country and
around the world. To date, volunteers have contributed nearly 5
million volunteer hours at 7,700 projects since Comcast Cares Day
began in 2001.
Colorado projects included participation in the Great American
Cleanup efforts to help with a variety of cleanup, trail
restoration, and other outdoor projects at Bear Creek Regional Park
in Colorado Springs to painting, grounds and garden projects,
furniture and technology installation at Denver Housing Authority’s
North Lincoln Opportunity Center.
“As we celebrate our 16th annual Comcast Cares Day, we are so
proud to partner with these important organizations to give back in
our community,” said Rich Jennings, Comcast senior vice president
for the Mountain West Region. “It’s truly amazing what’s possible
when thousands of volunteers donate their time to make a difference
in the lives of others. I’m inspired by the community’s response to
Comcast Cares Day, and am so thankful for the participants who help
to make this effort a success today and throughout the year.”
