On Saturday, April 21, more than 5,000 local Comcast
NBCUniversal employees and their families, friends and community
partners will “make change happen” as they volunteer at nearly 60
project sites in 16 cities throughout Colorado as part of the 17th
annual Comcast Cares Day. This year, volunteers in Colorado will
also be a part of and celebrate a significant milestone of Comcast
Cares Day – reaching 1 million volunteers since the program began
in 2001.
Comcast Cares Day is more than just a day – it is a celebration
and opportunity to spotlight our year-round commitment to
volunteerism that began with our founding 55 years ago. From using
technology to create positive change, such as teaching digital
literacy skills and wiring community centers and libraries, to
mentoring youth, to beautifying parks, Comcast NBCUniversal
employees volunteer on this day, and throughout the year, to make a
lasting impact. This year, the Company expects more than 100,000
volunteers to participate in about 1,000 projects across the
country and around the world. To date, volunteers have contributed
more than five million volunteer hours at 8,800 projects.
Colorado projects include a skills-based training class helping
a group of 9th grade girls from Girls Inc. of Metro Denver prepare
for summer internships, a painting and deep-cleaning project at
Paragon Learning Center in Pueblo and a beautification and
landscaping project with Putnam Elementary School in Fort
Collins.
“As we celebrate our 17th annual Comcast Cares Day, we’re proud
to continue to work with local community partners to make the
greatest impact possible throughout our state,” said Rich Jennings,
Comcast senior vice president of the Mountain West Region. “The
collaborative support shown by our employees, their family and
friends, and our community partners is a testament to how anything
is possible when we rally together to make change happen. I am
grateful to everyone who comes out in support of our communities
today and throughout the year.”

across Colorado serving the following community organizations:

“We appreciate the support of Comcast throughout the year,” said
James Sullivan, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of
the Pikes Peak Region. “Comcast Cares Day is such a tangible
expression of the great support that’s offered consistently.”
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 $22 million in grants to local non-profit
organizations who have served as partners on Comcast Cares Day.
Additionally, Comcast will once again fold in the broad support
and amplification of Global Citizen and Red Nose Day, organizations
aiming to end extreme poverty globally and in the United States.
These organizations use the universal language of music and
entertainment as a vehicle to engage people around the world to
make a difference. By amplifying our support of these initiatives
on Comcast Cares Day, Comcast NBCUniversal is providing additional
ways to help drive positive change in our communities.
