BOSTON, April 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today more than 3,500 local Comcast employees and their families, friends and community partners will "make change happen" as they volunteer to improve 25 sites across the Commonwealth as part of Comcast's 14th Comcast Cares Day.
Comcast Cares Day, which takes place each April during National Volunteer Month and on the heels of Earth Week, Comcast Cares Day is the nation's largest single-day corporate volunteer effort and part of the Company's year-round commitment to community service. Today Massachusetts volunteers will roll their sleeves up in communities such as Boston, Danvers, Lawrence, Lowell, Plymouth and Springfield.
This year the Company expects more than 90,000 Comcast and NBCUniversal volunteers to participate in over 750 projects across the country and around the globe. To date, more than 600,000 volunteers have contributed over 3.7 million volunteer hours since Comcast Cares Day started in 2001.
"I'm proud that the City of Boston is again taking part in Comcast Cares Day," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "The dedicated volunteers who will donate their time and energy are able to see firsthand what can happen by taking an active role in the beautification of their own communities. The time, energy and tenacity of the volunteers involved is appreciated and integral to making all Boston communities neighborhoods of opportunity."
"We're proud to partner with the Boston Center for Youth & Families and other nonprofit organizations to improve our community during our 14th Comcast Cares Day," said Steve Hackley, Senior Vice President of Comcast's Greater Boston Region. "The hard work of the 3,500 Massachusetts volunteers who will be donating their time to help make such a big difference in the lives of others is inspiring, and I am thankful to all of our participants who are helping to make today a success."
In addition, one of Comcast's largest partner organizations City Year Boston added, "The service our corps members provide in schools is focused on increasing opportunities and outcomes for students," said Sandra Lopez Burke, Vice President and Executive Director of City Year Boston. "But we know that learning also takes place outside of the classroom and that the lives of students are importantly shaped by their experiences outside of school. That's why Comcast Cares Day is so important, because if focuses on the communities where students learn and live and shows them that we are all invested in their success."
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 $16 million in grants to local non-profit organizations who have partnered with us on Comcast Cares Day.
