Countdown To Comcast Cares Day: 100 Days
Jan 21, 2016 1:30 PM ET
In 100 days, Comcast NBCUniversal will celebrate its 15th annual Comcast Cares Day, the culmination of the company’s year-round commitment to improving communities through service.
To begin the countdown, take a look back at five ways Comcast Cares Day volunteers made change happen last year:
- We improved schools. One out of every eight of our 900-plus projects occurred at a neighborhood school, helping students to learn in a richer environment.
- We partnered for impact. Together with leading national nonprofit organizations including Boys & Girls Clubs of America, City Year, National Urban League, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, National Council of La Raza, we supported nearly 200 projects in communities big and small.
- We mobilized young people. One out of every five of our record 100,000 volunteers was under the age of 18, reminding us that Comcast Cares Day is a family affair and a great way to teach young people the importance of giving back at an early age.
- We fed our neighbors in need. One out of every five of our 900-plus projects supported local food programs.
- We surpassed a service milestone. Since 2001, Comcast Cares Day volunteers have given more than 4 million service hours to improve our communities.
