Comcast Employees To Partner With Almost 300 Community Organizations on 'Comcast Cares Day'

On Saturday, October 7, more than 30,000 Comcast employees and their families will be volunteering with almost 300 community organizations in 34 states and the District of Columbia as part of one of the largest single-day corporate volunteer efforts in the United States -- the sixth annual Comcast Cares Day. Comcast employees and their families will donate 180,000 volunteer hours of service -- or the equivalent of more than 86 person-years of community service -- in one day.

"At Comcast, we appreciate how incredibly important community service is to the health and well-being of the neighborhoods we serve," said Comcast Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian L. Roberts. "Our employees and their families have generously given of their time and talents to help improve their communities. We're very proud of their contributions, and are delighted to be working with almost 300 partner groups throughout the country to make this year's Comcast Cares Day a resounding success."

Comcast Cares Day is a company-wide day of service in which Comcast employees and their families volunteer on the same day in their local communities. Local Comcast management teams work with civic leaders to identify non-profit partner organizations and projects that address specific needs in cities and towns across the country.

Comcast's employee volunteers will represent all sectors of the Comcast Family of Companies, from its corporate headquarters in Philadelphia to its local cable offices and the company's content businesses.

The Comcast Foundation will also donate more than one million dollars in grants to the local community partner organizations on behalf of each employee and family member who volunteered on Comcast Cares Day. These partner grants are to help Comcast's community partners continue their mission throughout the year.

In addition to Comcast Cares Day, Comcast employees volunteer year-round with a variety of projects and organizations through the company's Comcast Cares program.
