(uplifting music)
2
00:00:10.270 --> 00:00:12.920 line:15%
Welcome to the single biggest
3
00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:16.870 line:15%
one-day corporate volunteer event in the United States.
4
00:00:16.870 --> 00:00:17.731
You're part of it.
5
00:00:17.731 --> 00:00:18.564
(crowd cheering)
6
00:00:18.564 --> 00:00:21.090
In April, we celebrated our 15th annual
7
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.970
Comcast Cares Day.
8
00:00:22.970 --> 00:00:25.000
It's one way we show our year-round
9
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.940
commitment to our communities.
10
00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:31.310
It's a massive demonstration of our company's commitment
11
00:00:31.310 --> 00:00:32.910
and our employees' commitment
12
00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:36.160 line:15%
to the communities where our employees live and work
13
00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:37.840 line:15%
and where our customers live and work.
14
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.440 line:15%
Since 2001, nearly five million service hours
15
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:45.560 line:15%
have been given by Comcast NBCUniversal volunteers.
16
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:46.990 line:15%
The effects of a day like today
17
00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:49.170 line:15%
will be far reaching for the students
18
00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:51.270 line:15%
and the families of Milner School.
19
00:00:51.270 --> 00:00:54.450 line:15%
This year, more than 100,000 volunteers
20
00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:58.470 line:15%
gave back at 930 local project sites nationwide
21
00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:00.700
and at 20 countries around the world.
22
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:01.920
I think that it's important
23
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.547 line:15%
by having the folks from Comcast and NBC and Telemundo
24
00:01:04.547 --> 00:01:06.500 line:15%
and plus the students and families
25
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:08.790
to unite together as a community.
26
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:10.620
Volunteers improved the schools
27
00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:12.280
where students learn.
28
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.320
They helped people in need.
29
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:16.270
They shared the value of volunteering
30
00:01:16.270 --> 00:01:17.740
with the next generation.
31
00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:19.030
It was really something my parents
32
00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:20.690
instilled in me at such a young age.
33
00:01:20.690 --> 00:01:23.620 line:15%
She always brought us to service events
34
00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:26.800 line:15%
when we were kids so it's a family affair.
35
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:30.250 line:15%
When you volunteer for stuff it makes you a better person.
36
00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:32.590
Comcast Cares Day is one of our employees'
37
00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:35.630
favorite traditions and was even better this year,
38
00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:39.020
as we joined with Red Nose Day and Global Citizen
39
00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:42.040
to provide additional ways we can improve our communities
40
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.560
both locally and globally.
41
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.170 line:15%
The outpour of community and volunteers
42
00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:48.690 line:15%
has been awesome today.
43
00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:51.180
And that's part of the reason why I'm at Comcast
44
00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:54.580 line:15%
is that I love the fact that our employees love giving back.
45
00:01:54.580 --> 00:01:55.770 line:15%
Hopefully, we'll be doing this
46
00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:57.570 line:15%
for many, many, many years to come
47
00:01:57.570 --> 00:01:59.600
and spreading further and wider.
48
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:02.270 line:15%
My father would be so amazed
49
00:02:02.270 --> 00:02:06.280 line:15%
with what this little beginning has turned into.
50
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.380
We've got a couple hundred volunteers who are here
51
00:02:08.380 --> 00:02:11.760 line:15%
to clean up, to beautify, to fix playgrounds
52
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:15.290
so that on Monday when elementary school kids come back,
53
00:02:15.290 --> 00:02:16.631
they'll come back to a beautiful school.
54
00:02:16.631 --> 00:02:18.350
You see people every year.
55
00:02:18.350 --> 00:02:20.370 line:15%
Like, I've had families that literally grew up
56
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:21.400 line:15%
coming to my project.
57
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.170 line:15%
That means there's gonna be rippling impacts
58
00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:27.040 line:15%
in the communities we serve ongoing beyond today.
59
00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:28.430 line:15%
Green shirts one day,
60
00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:31.030 line:15%
commitment to the community 365.
61
00:02:31.030 --> 00:02:31.890
What could be better?
62
00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:34.930 line:15%
It's part of a great American tradition of volunteering.
63
00:02:34.930 --> 00:02:36.670 line:15%
The transformation of our school environment
64
00:02:36.670 --> 00:02:38.890 line:15%
has just been amazing.
65
00:02:38.890 --> 00:02:41.480
It's so important to our students and our families
66
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:43.726
to see that our community supports us
67
00:02:43.726 --> 00:02:45.560
and it's just a reminder people care.
68
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:46.865
I was so surprised
69
00:02:46.865 --> 00:02:51.090
because I never seen this place like this before.
70
00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:53.120
When we all come back and we see
71
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.421
how this has been transformed--
72
00:02:54.421 --> 00:02:56.750
Come on, Asana!
It acknowledges
73
00:02:56.750 --> 00:02:59.140
the hard work of our teachers, our students.
74
00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:00.450
Working with our friends,
75
00:03:00.450 --> 00:03:02.410
families and partners,
76
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:05.215
together we're making change happen.
77
00:03:05.215 --> 00:03:06.548
Comcast cares!
78
00:03:07.678 --> 00:03:11.095
(cheering and clapping)
